A prospective randomized trial was conducted to compare the efficiency of two ovarian stimulation protocols for in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer or gamete intrafallopian transfer. Protocol 1 consisted of clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) with 55 cycles of 42 patients being evaluated. Protocol 2 had 38 cycles of 34 patients receiving a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) and hMG. The incidence of a spontaneous luteinizing hormone surge was 38.2% in protocol 1 and 0% in protocol 2. Both protocols had a similar cancellation rate. The total clinical pregnancy rates per oocyte retrieval for patients receiving protocol 1 and protocol 2 were 19.5% and 10.3%, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant. Therefore, as first-line ovulation induction agents, it cannot be concluded that either protocol demonstrates a clear superiority over the other and further trials of the GnRH-a/hMG combination are indicated.
