Purpose: To see if the single injection of one mg of the gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) leuprolide acetate given in the mid-luteal phase can increase live delivered pregnancy and implantation rates. Furthermore the purpose was to determine if improvement was found, did the mechanism involve increased secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted in women aged ≤ 35 who were undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). They were advised of data from Tesarik et al. and a previous pilot study conducted in the present IVF center showing improved pregnancy rates with the injection of a GnRHa three days after embryo transfer. They were offered the option of returning for a one-mg injection s.c. of leuprolide acetate or not. Clinical and live delivered pregnancy rates were compared according to those taking or not the leuprolide acetate one-mg injection. Chi-square analysis was used for statistical comparisons. Serum beta-hCG levels were compared between those conceiving with or without the extra injection of leuprolide. Results: There was a non-significant trend for higher live delivered pregnancy rates in those taking leuprolide (47.8%, 64/134) vs. those not taking it (38.6%, 76/197). For those pregnant there was no difference in hCG levels according to taking the GnRHa or not. Conclusions: The 25% increased live delivered pregnancy rate per transfer was insufficiently powered to detect a significant difference. The results do justify continuing the study. Perhaps the difference could be wider using a slightly older age group whose embryos are frequently less hearty.
