What are the implications of leuprolide use in patients with fibroids undergoing IVF?

Leuprolide downsizes fibroids, enhancing uterine shape for embryo implantation, but may reduce ovarian reserve, affecting egg quality and quantity.
Leuprolide improves IVF outcomes by shrinking fibroids and stabilizing the endometrium, but prolonged use can temporarily suppress ovarian function.
Using leuprolide in fibroid patients can optimize the uterine environment for IVF, but care must be taken as it might also lead to a decrease in ovarian activity.
