Prospective, randomized study comparing highly purified urinary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and recombinant FSH for in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Abstract
In a randomized study comparing purified urinary FSH with recombinant FSH for IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, there was no significant difference between the mean total dose of FSH used, duration of stimulation, number of retrieved oocytes, number of mature oocytes, number of embryos transferred, or the ongoing pregnancy rate between the two groups. However, there were significantly more fertilized oocytes, a higher fertilization rate, more top-quality embryos, and more cryopreserved embryos in the urinary FSH group.
