Comparison of clinical outcomes among dual ovarian stimulation, mild stimulation and luteal phase stimulation protocols in women with poor ovarian response
2018
AbstractThis study aimed to determine whether consecutive ovarian stimulation in follicular and luteal phases within a single menstrual cycle (dual stimulation) is achievable and superior to conventional stimulation for poor ovarian responders (PORs). Data of 260 PORs were retrospectively collected and divided into three groups. Group A comprised of cycles with dual ovarian stimulation (n = 76), which were divided into two subgroups (follicular [group A-F] and luteal phase stimulation [group A-L]); group B comprised of cycles with ovarian stimulation that was performed only in the luteal phase (n = 52). Group C comprised of mild ovarian stimulation cycles (n = 132). Baseline parameters were not different among the three groups. The numbers of oocytes and embryo obtained were less in group A-F than group B and C, while group A overall had significantly more oocytes and viable embryo retrieved than did group B and C. Group A-L consumed significantly less gonadotropin than group B, without compromising the n...
