Abstract
Introduction. An actual task of reproductive medicine is a comparative analysis of the use of highly purified urinary gonadotropins and recombinant FSH preparations for ovarian stimulation in in vitro fertilization programms in older patients. This was suggested on the basis of data available in the literature on the possible positive effect of LH on the effectiveness of various stages of ART programs in this category of women.
Aim. To compare the parameters of ovarian stimulation, gametogenesis, early embryogenesis, pregnancy rate (PRF) in patients of older reproductive age in ART programs who underwent ovarian stimulation using drugs containing FSH + LH or drugs containing recombinant FSH.
Materials and methods. The study included 44 patients aged 35 to 40 years with infertility due to tubal- peritoneal and non-severe male factor treated with ART techniques. In 50% of patients, ovarian stimulation was performed with highly purified urinary gonadotropin, in 50 % – with rFSH preparations.
Results. The characteristics of the embryological stage in both groups showed high rates, comparable with global data. The frequency of pregnancy and early miscarriage was comparable in both groups.
Conclusions. Ovarian stimulation with MHT is effective, safe and can be recommended for patients of older reproductive age.
