Abstract:
1. A method of programming an infertility treatment cycle comprising controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and assisted reproductive techniques (ART), the method comprising: determining a luteal phase of a first menstrual cycle in an infertile patient; administering a first dose regimen of an LHRH antagonist during said luteal phase of said first menstrual cycle, wherein said first dose regimen of LHRH antagonist induces a luteal regression; terminating said first dose regimen administration prior to the onset of menses; determining a follicular phase of a second menstrual cycle wherein said second menstrual cycle immediately succeeds said first menstrual cycle; administering a follicle stimulating compound during said follicular phase, wherein said follicle stimulating compound stimulates ovarian follicle growth; administering a second dose regimen of said LHRH antagonist during said follicular phase, wherein said second dose regimen of an LHRH antagonist suppresses premature ovulation; administering HCG thereby inducing ovulation; and applying assisted reproduction techniques.
