Although obese women can require higher doses of gonadotropin injections to stimulate egg production, IVF success can still be more difficult. The results of a small, preliminary study may help shed some light on why. Researchers found that another type of injection used for IVF may also need dose adjustments in obese women. Gonadotropin antagonists such as Cetrotide aka cetrorelix are used to prevent eggs from being released too early and ensure that eggs mature appropriately. This study is being published in the May issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism and a summary can be found here: eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2014-03/tes-sim031814.php
