Abstract
The above article in the debate section (Hernandez, 2000) addressed the important question of the use of antagonists of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH)/luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) for IVF–embryo transfer, but we do not consider the viewpoints expressed to be correct. Although the title implied a scientific assessment of this approach, the article failed to provide an accurate picture of the scientific and clinical issues involved. The statements by the author that LHRH antagonists applied for the control of LH-secretion during ovarian stimulation for IVF have a negative impact on pregnancy rates are not substantiated within the article, are inaccurate and cannot be allowed to pass unchallenged.Keywords
