HCG Levels After Ovulation Triggering as Predictors of ICSI Outcome

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Levels After Ovulation Triggering as Predictors of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Outcome

This study aimed to assess the correlation between HCG levels after ovulation triggering and ICSI outcomes, affected by HCG formulation and dose

The aims of this study are:

1. To assess the correlation between serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level after ovulation triggering and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome including: oocyte maturity and quality, good quality embryo rate, blastocyst formation rate and pregnancy rate
2. To determine if there is an association between type and dose of the trigger and ICSI outcome.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Women who will undergo controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) through fixed GnRH antagonist protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

• BMI > 30 kg/m2
• Irregular menstruation
• Severe male factor abnormality
• Poor ovarian reserve
• Endometriosis
• Uterine abnormality
