Summary

This trial found that using a GnRH agonist in addition to progesterone during IVF cycles improves implantation and live birth rates.

What is being tested?
The study tests if a single dose of GnRH agonist given around the time of embryo transfer improves implantation and live birth rates in IVF cycles compared to a placebo.
