Ovarian cyst formation following GnRH agonist administration in IVF cycles: incidence and impact

Abstract

The incidence of cyst formation during GnRH agonist treatment is lower than previously reported. In such cases, the quality of oocytes and embryos were significantly compromised, with a significant increase in the cycle cancellation rate and a decrease in the implantation and pregnancy rates. Neither conservative management nor cyst aspiration improved the IVF outcome.
