Sorry I'm creating a lot of new threads recently, but the knowledge on this board is amazing and I'm in the mad research pre-ivf phase where Google is not providing the answers...
Can someone please tell me the difference between GnRH agonist vs antagonist protocol? Is this equivalent to long protocol vs short protocol? Or is it simply different ways of stimulating, i.e. either could be used as part of short or long protocol?
From what I can see the antagonist version is slightly shorter in treatment duration, and more suited to older patients or PCOS (I'm 31, no PCOS), but my clinic says it 'uses lower doses of stimulating hormones', so I like the idea of it. We have severe MFI, I check out ok.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!! Hopefully one day I can become an 'expert' and help others on here! x
