This technique affects oocyte and embryo quality through the development of follicles of different sizes and functional stages, thus creating hormonal patterns that differ from the natural follicular cycle. Many researchers employ the term <em>premature luteinisation</em> to describe the case of patients who, in cycles of ovarian stimulation, present with higher levels of progesterone (P) when ovulation is triggered.
