Purpose Embryological and clinical efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist and agonist stimulation protocols in non-obese women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) were compared.Methods A prospective randomized study. Setting: Medical University Hospital. Patients: 70 infertile PCOS patients; 33 in GnRH antagonist and 37 in GnRH agonist group.Results Similar mature metaphase II oocyte rate (76% vs. 76%) was observed in both protocols. Optimal pronuclear morphology zygotes dominated in both groups (64% vs. 66%). Transferred embryo quality did not differ in both protocols. No significant differences between both protocols were found in delivery rate (p=0.481), pregnancy rate (p=0.810), multiple pregnancy rate (p=0.501), miscarriage rate (p=0.154), fertilization rate (p=0.388) and implantation rate (p=1.000). Duration of stimulation and total follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) dose were significantly lower in GnRH antagonist protocol (p=0.0005).Conclusions GnRH antagonist and agonist protocols in non-obese PCOS patients yield similar embryological and clinical outcomes. Shorter duration of treatment and lower FSH requirement in GnRH antagonist group may be financially beneficial and therefore attractive for patients.
