Estradiol, FSH, and LH concentrations in the flare and luteal protocols during coasting. (A and B) Estradiol. (A) Flare protocol: GnRH agonists (GnRH-a) stop group, n = 9 cycles. GnRH-a were stopped on day -1. GnRH-a continue group, n = 7 cycles. Agonists were continued throughout the coast until the day of hCG or cycle cancellation (day 0). (B) Luteal protocol: GnRH-a stop group, n = 8 cycles. The agonists were stopped on day -1. GnRH-a continue group, n = 35 cycles. Agonists were continued throughout the coast until day 0. In this and subsequent figures, data are shown for the last 4 days of coasting (day -3 to day 0) and are displayed as mean ∀ SEM. Mean values were statistically compared on day -1 and day 0. aP<.05. (C and D) FSH. (C) Flare protocol: GnRH-a stop group, n = 9 cycles. GnRH-a continue group, n = 4 cycles. (D) Luteal protocol: GnRH-a stop group, n = 7 cycles. GnRH-a continue group, n = 10 cycles. (E and F) LH. (E) Flare protocol: GnRH-a stop group, n = 9 cycles. GnRH-a continue group, n = 4 cycles. (F) Luteal protocol: GnRH-a stop group, n = 7 cycles. GnRH-a continue group, n = 10 cycles.

Progesterone, androstenedione (A), and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations in the flare and luteal protocols during coasting. (A and B) Progesterone. (A) Flare protocol: GnRH agonists (GnRH-a) stop group, n = 8 cycles. GnRH-a were stopped on day -1. GnRH-a continue group, n = 4 cycles. The agonists were continued throughout the coast until the day of hCG administration or cycle cancellation (day 0). (B) Luteal protocol: GnRH-a stop group, n = 7 cycles. The agonists were stopped on day -1. GnRH-a continue group, n = 9 cycles, Agonists were continued throughout the coast until day 0. In this and subsequent figures, data are shown for the last 4 days of coasting (day -3 to day 0) and are displayed as mean ∀ SEM. Mean values were statistically compared on day -1 and day 0. aP<.05. (C and D) Androstenedione. (C) Flare protocol: GnRH-a stop group, n = 9 cycles. GnRH-a continue group, n = 4 cycles. (D) Luteal protocol: GnRH-a stop group, n = 7 cycles. GnRH-a continue group, n = 10 cycles. (E and F) AMH. (E) Flare protocol: GnRH-a stop group, n = 9 cycles. GnRH-a continue group, n = 4 cycles. (F) Luteal protocol: GnRH-a stop group, n = 7 cycles. GnRH-a continue group, n = 10 cycles.
