The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference in duration of ovarian stimulation, number of ampoules, oocytes retrieved, serum estradiol （E2） and progesterone （P） levels, thickness of endometrium, the zygote- and blastocyst-development rate between GnRH agonist and antagonist protocols （P〉0.05）. High quality embryo rate was higher in antagonist protocols, but there was no significant difference between two protocols. Implantation rate and clinical pregnant rate were significantly higher in antagonist protocol （15.82% and 30.26%, respectively） than in agonist protocol （5.26% and 10.64% respectively （P〈0.05）. It was concluded GnRH antagonist protocol probably improved the outcome of pregnancy of older patients with a history of multiple failure of IVF-ET in a GnRH protocol.展开更多
