Can Cetrotide be effectively used in natural cycle IVF protocols and what are the potential advantages or limitations of its application in such cases?
Cetrotide is not typically used in natural cycle IVF because it suppresses spontaneous ovulation. Its use could undermine the main advantage of natural cycles: minimal medication use.
1. Cetrotide is rarely used in natural cycle IVF as it prevents natural LH surges that are crucial in such protocols.
2. In natural cycle IVF, Cetrotide may be used to delay ovulation timing, but it can also suppress the natural hormones necessary for follicle development.
