GnRH triggering may improve euploidy and live birth rate in hyper-responders: a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: Despite the increasing use of GnRHa to trigger final oocyte maturation in segmented IVF cycles, the effects of trigger modality on chromosomal competence and embryo quality remain controversial. Hence, the purpose of this study was to compare euploidy rates and pregnancy outcomes among hyper-responding women using hCG versus GnRHa trigger.

Methods: This retrospective study included 333 hyper-responders, defined as >15 oocytes retrieved, who underwent preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A) in segmented IVF cycles using either GnRHa or urinary hCG trigger.
