چکیده

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of a flexible multidose gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist against the effectiveness of a microdose flare-up GnRH agonist combined with a flexible multidose GnRH antagonist protocol in poor responders to in vitro fertilization (IVF). STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study in Akdeniz University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, IVF Center, for 131 poor responders in the intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (ICSI-ET) program between January 2006 and November 2012. The groups were compared to the patients' characteristics, controlled ovarian stimulation (COH) results, and laboratory results. RESULTS Combination protocol was applied to 46 patients (group 1), and a single protocol was applied to 85 patients (group 2). In group 1, the duration of the treatment was longer and the dose of FSH was higher. The cycle cancellation rate was significantly higher in group 2 (26.1% versus 38.8%). A significant difference was not observed with respect to the number and quality of oocytes and embryos or to the number of embryos transferred. There were no statistically significant differences in the hCG positivity (9.5% versus 9.4%) or the clinical pregnancy rates (7.1% versus 10.6%). CONCLUSION The combination protocol does not provide additional efficacy.

Background: This study aims to verify if luteal estradiol pre-treatment improves IVF/ICSI outcomes in a GnRH antagonist protocol as compared to a micro dose GnRH agonist protocol in poor-responding patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 116 IVF/ICSI cycles were included in this prospective randomized clinical trial. The selected women were randomly assigned to receive an estradiol pre-trea...

The management of poor responders in IVF cycles is extremely controversial due to their inadequate response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.. A low ovarian response may be idiopathic or may be associated with many different factors including age, diminished ovarian reserve, endometriosis and prior ovarian surgery, and a reported incidence 9-24% of IVF patients. Several strategies have be...
