Comparing the efficacy of urinary and recombinant hCG on oocyte/follicle ratio to trigger ovulation in women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare the number of oocytes per follicles in ovulation induction with 10,000 IU urinary hCG (uhCG) and two different doses of recombinant hCG (rhCG) in women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles.

Methods

This study was a prospective, randomized controlled trial which was performed on 180 primary infertile women undergoing ICSI cycles. All eligible patients underwent a standard GnRH-a long protocol. When at least two follicles reached a diameter of 18 mm, all patients were randomized to receive 10,000 IU urinary hCG or 250 μg recombinant hCG or 500 μg recombinant hCG for ovulation induction. Primary outcome measure included the number of oocytes retrieved per aspirated follicles. Secondary outcome measures were the number of oocytes retrieved
