Short summary
In this study, short synchronization methods that do not contain estradiol before superstimulation in ovum pickup (OPU) applications were investigated. The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and dominant follicle removal (DFR) were used for follicular wave emergence. It was determined that DFR and hCG for follicular wave emergence increased oocyte yield and in vitro embryo production success in pre-superstimulation synchronization protocols.
