Endometriosis: Comparison among different ovarian stimulation regimens for assisted procreation procedures in patients with endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.humrep.a136308

The objective of our study was to establish the most adequate ovarian stimulation regimen for assisted procreation in endometriotic patients. It consisted of a retrospective analysis comparing the use of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone …
