Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of two recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on pregnancy
rates in infertile patients.
Material and Methods: between 2015-2017, 387 females intended to have in vitro fertilization (IVF) for infertility treatment
(226 patients use Gonal-F and 161 using Puregon.
Results: Serum E2 concentration at hCG time was higher with follitropin-a treated patients, and a larger number of retrieved
oocyte result in a large number of the transferred embryo, and high pregnancy rate than Follitropin-b treated patients.
Conclusions: Gonal-F (Follitropin-a) is associated with a potential stimulatory effect on ovaries. Puregon (Follitropin-b) was
associated with a lower clinical pregnancy rate (PR). E2 level 5-7 days after stimulation can be used as an indicator of the
success of IVF.
