    Summary
    At start of stimulation, serum concentrations of FSH (4.6 ± 2.3 versus 6.0 ± 1.8IU/l), LH (2.7 ± 1.4 versus 4.7 ± 1.9IU/l) and oestradiol (87 ± 35 versus 129 ± 50pmol/l) were markedly lower (P<0.001) in the degarelix-ML group than in the placebo group.

    Summary · context
    Eighty-five oocyte donors were randomized to GnRH antagonist starting in the mid-luteal phase of the prestimulation cycle (degarelix-ML group), on stimulation day 1 (early follicular phase, degarelix-EF group) or day 6 (fixed protocol) (mid-follicular phase, ganirelix-MF group).

    Subjects in the degarelix-EF and ganirelix-MF groups received placebo in the prestimulation cycle.
