Summary
Induction of ovulation is one of the major advances in the treatment of subfertility in the last decades. One aspect of ovulation induction that required attention is the occurrence of a premature luteinizing hormone (LH) surge before the leading follicle reaches the optimum diameter for triggering ovulation by human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). It was reported that premature LH surge occurs in a significant number of patients undergoing ovulation induction [1]. Such premature LH surge prevents effective induction of multiple follicular maturation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and resulted in a significant cancellation of IVF cycles [2].
