In the last two years intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has become frequently employed as an assisted reproductive technique primarily to treat male factor infertility.' In order to achieve high pregnancy rates, all assisted reproductive technologies including ICSI require sufficient number and quality oocytes. In our practice we use three different ovulation induction regimens (CC/hMG, GnRH-a/hMG, and GnRH-a/FSH) to maximize the number of oocytes available for fertilization. In this present report, we retrospectively com- pared pregnancy rates with ICSI following the use of these protocols.
