Luteinizing hormone profiles during ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive treatment
The course of LH in the SA protocol differs from the A protocol where low mean LH levels are seen. Oversuppression of LH, or iatrogenic LH deficiency as described in earlier studies, may be a rather pervasive phenomenon during stimulation with an antagonist protocol and warrants further investigation to elucidate the clinical relevance of low LH levels during ovarian stimulation.
