Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of administering hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) for triggering ovulation at different follicle sizes in infertile women undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI).
- It involved 612 women divided into two groups: one receiving early hCG when the leading follicle was 16.0-16.9 mm and the other receiving late hCG at 18.0-18.9 mm.
- The results showed that both groups had similar clinical and ongoing pregnancy rates, indicating that early hCG administration is just as effective as late hCG in IUI cycles.
