Abstract

Papers related to ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization were reviewed from the period of April 1990 to March 1991. Most of the literature pertained to regimens using gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. Other areas of interest included information on the impact of cryopreservation, norethindrone for cycle synchronization, and human chronic gonadotropin for luteal support during in vitro fertilization. The adjunctive use of growth hormone to increase ovarian responsitivity was also reported on. The effect of ovarian stimulation on endometrial development during in vitro fertilization was also discussed. In general, although there are several new regimens for inducing multiple follicular development in in vitro fertilization, it appears that there is no consensus on an ideal regimen. This in large part is related to heterogeneity among patient populations.
