Repeated in vitro fertilization cycle attempts in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists.

abstract：:The purpose of this study was to investigate and treat a group of patients referred for "idiopathic" infertility in whom no apparent cause for infertility, apart from inadequate cervical mucus, was found. Hormone investigations revealed that these patients could be divided into two groups: those with low sex steroid p...
