Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the timing between administering a GnRH agonist trigger and retrieving oocytes in GnRH antagonist cycles for elective fertility preservation.
- Researchers analyzed data from 438 cycles to see if different time intervals impacted oocyte yield and maturation rates, factoring in patient age, BMI, hormone levels, and medication dosages.
- Results showed no significant differences in oocyte yield or maturation rates regardless of whether the retrieval occurred before or after 36 hours post-trigger, indicating timing may not be critical in these cycles.
Background: Religious (halachic*) infertility' results from precoital ovulation prior to immersion in a ritual bath (mikveh) 7 days after menstruation, as mandated by Jewish religious law. Previous authors recommended treatment with estradiol to postpone ovulation and enhance pregnancy rates.
Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of halachic infertility in an ultra-Orthodox jewish community, and assess the efficacy of estradiol treatment in postponing ovulation and increasing pregnancy rates.
