The Impact of Oral Contraceptive Pill Pretreatment on IVF Success Rates

Review of a large study
Several studies have investigated the relationship between OCP pretreatment and IVF outcomes, with mixed results. Some research suggests that OCP pretreatment may lower the number of retrieved oocytes and the overall success rates of IVF. One possible explanation for this is that OCP pretreatment could lead to a slower follicular response to ovarian stimulation, resulting in fewer mature oocytes available for fertilization.
However, other studies have found no significant difference in IVF success rates between patients who underwent OCP pretreatment and those who did not. These conflicting results highlight the need for further research to fully understand the impact of OCP pretreatment on IVF outcomes.
