Glucocorticoid supplementation during ovarian stimulation for IVF or ICSI.

CONCLUSIONS: The safety and effectiveness of glucocorticoid administration in women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for IVF/ICSI cycles (until the day of oocyte retrieval) is unclear due to the small number of studies and low event rates. Whilst glucocorticoids possible increase the clinical pregnancy rate, there may be little or no impact on live birth rate. More research is needed. PMID: 28349525 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
