Low-dose urinary human chorionic gonadotropin is effective for oocyte maturation in vitro fertilization/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles independent of body mass index

ABSTRACT

Background: Currently, there is no agreement on the optimal urinary derived human chorionic gonadotropin [u-hCG] dose requirement for initiating final oocyte maturation prior to oocyte collection in in vitro fertilization [IVF], but doses that range from 2500-15000 IU have been used. We intended to determine whether low dose u-hCG was effective for oocyte maturation in IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection [ICSI] cycles independent of body mass index [BMI]
