Abstract
Purpose: Our goal was to compare serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels in singleton pregnancies achieved following IVFET with those achieved following spontaneous conception. Results: The mean serum hCG level of patients who became pregnant following IVFET lagged 1.5 days behind that of patients who became pregnant spontaneously. Conclusions: The use of gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue as part of the stimulation protocol leading to egg retrieval and IVFET results in a delay in embryo implantation.Keywords
