We hypothesized that long-term Gn RHa treatment might also be beneficial for the idiopathic repeated implantation failure（RIF） patients. In the 21 patients receiving Gn RHa and hormone replacement therapy（G-HRT） protocols for frozen embryo transfer, their data were compared with those of the 56 of frozen/fresh cycles they had previously undergone（previous protocols）. Comparison showed that the finial results were significantly better with G-HRT protocols than with their previous protocols, with pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, implantation rate and on-going pregnancy rate being 70%, 60%, 40% and 38% respectively with G-HRT protocols, against 17%, 11%, 6.3% and 5% with previous protocols. The results showed that hormonally controlled endometrial preparation with prior Gn RHa suppression could be used for patients who had experienced repeated failures of IVF treatment despite having morphologically optimal embryos, and the treatment may help increase the receptivity of the endometrium in these patients.展开更多
