This case report describes the first established pregnancy after the use of
gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, ganirelix (Org 37462;
Organon), to prevent a premature luteinizing hormone surge during ovarian
hyperstimulation with recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone
(rhFSH). The pregnancy progressed normally and ended with the birth of a
healthy boy and a girl after an elective Caesarean section at gestational
age of 37 weeks. This case illustrates, for the first time, the use of a
GnRH antagonist in combination with a pure FSH preparation for ovarian
stimulation.
