    Abstract Background Aromatase inhibitors prevent the aromatization of androgens into estrogens, which reduces the negative feedback of estrogen on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. It is clear that increasing the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormones results in an increased follicular growth. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding letrozole to gonadotropin on in vitro fertilization outcomes in normal responders. Materials and Methods In this randomized clinical trial, 100 normal responder women candidate for controlled ovarian stimulation were randomly enrolled in two groups (n = 50/each). In the case group letrozole was added to gonadotropin in the antagonist protocol. The control group received the conventional antagonist protocol. The main outcome was clinical and chemical pregnancy; and the second outcomes were the number of mature oocytes, the fertilization rate, estradiol level, and the total dose of gonadotropins. Results Basic clinical and demographic features were comparable between the groups. Estradiol level on the day of human-chorionic-gonadotropin administration and the total gonadotropin consumption were significantly higher in the control group than the case group (p = 0.045). In addition, the number of MII oocytes was higher (but not significantl) in the case group than the control group (p = 0.09). Moreover, the endometrial thickness was significantly lower in the case group. There were no significant differences in fertilization rate and chemical and clinical pregnancy rates between the two groups. Conclusion Although adding letrozole to gonadotropin in normal responders reduces the total dose of gonadotropin, it does not improve the pregnancy outcomes.

    خلاصه زمینه مهار کننده های آروماتاز ​​از تبدیل آندروژن به استروژن جلوگیری می کنند ، که باعث کاهش بازخورد منفی استروژن در محور هیپوتالاموس-هیپوفیز می شود. واضح است که افزایش ترشح هورمون های محرک فولیکول منجر به افزایش رشد فولیکولی می شود. هدف این مطالعه با هدف بررسی تأثیر افزودن لتروزول به گنادوتروپین بر نتایج لقاح آزمایشگاهی در پاسخ دهندگان طبیعی انجام شد. مواد و روش ها در این کارآزمایی بالینی تصادفی ، 100 زن پاسخ دهنده طبیعی که داوطلب تحریک کنترل تخمدان بودند به طور تصادفی در دو گروه (50 نفر = هر نفر) ثبت نام شدند. در گروه مورد ، لتروزول به پروتئین آنتاگونیست به گنادوتروپین اضافه شد. گروه کنترل پروتکل آنتاگونیست متعارف را دریافت کرد. نتیجه اصلی حاملگی بالینی و شیمیایی بود. و نتایج دوم تعداد تخمک های بالغ ، میزان لقاح ، سطح استرادیول و دوز کل گنادوتروپین ها بود. نتایج ویژگی های اساسی بالینی و دموگرافیک بین دو گروه قابل مقایسه بود. سطح استراديول در روز تجويز گنادوتروپين كوريوني انسان و مصرف كل گنادوتروپين در گروه كنترل به طور معني داري بيشتر از گروه مورد بود (045/0 = p). علاوه بر این ، تعداد تخمک های MII در گروه مورد بیشتر از گروه شاهد بود (اما معنی دار نبود) (09/0 = p). علاوه بر این ، ضخامت آندومتر در گروه مورد به طور قابل توجهی کمتر بود. تفاوت معنی داری در میزان لقاح و میزان بارداری شیمیایی و بالینی بین دو گروه وجود نداشت. نتیجه اگرچه افزودن لتروزول به گنادوتروپین در پاسخ دهندگان طبیعی ، دوز کل گنادوتروپین را کاهش می دهد ، اما نتایج بارداری را بهبود نمی بخشد.
