Abstract

The use of the GnRH antagonists during ovarian stimulation for intrauterine insemination is relatively recent. The primary aim was to improve the timing of the inseminations on working days. However, according to published data, the consequences on pregnancy rate remain uncertain. Moreover, the impact of this strategy on stimulation's parameters, specifically on the size of the follicle cohort, should be better assessed.
