Does Dual and/or Double Trigger Improve In Vitro Fertilisation Success?

Abstract

DO THE risks of using dual or double trigger in vitro fertilisation (IVF) outweigh the benefits, or do the benefits outweigh the risks? This was the question posed to the audience by co-chairs Nikolaos Polyzos, Dexeus University Hospital, Barcelona, Spain, and Joop Laven, Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, at the very beginning of a fascinating debate session at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) 40th Annual Meeting, which took place from 7th–10th July 2024 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Though the audience members were initially hesitant to share their thoughts, this first poll demonstrated a strong preference for dual or double trigger as opposed to against. The ensuing talks aimed to convince the crowd one way or the other, as experts in the field joined Laven and Polyzos to debate.
