Comparison of Pregnancy Rates for Poor Responders

Using IVF With Mild Ovarian Stimulation vs. Conventional IVF Guideline

Some topics covered in this guideline:

• Mild Ovarian Stimulation with Low-dose Gonadotropins and Pregnancy Rate

• Mild Ovarian Stimulation with Oral Superovulation Agents (With or Without Low-dose Gonadotropins) and Pregnancy Rate

• Natural or modified-natural cycles vs normal or high stimulation protocols for poor responders

What are some gaps in protocols for poor responders based on this guideline?

• Compare different mild ovarian stimulation protocols directly to determine if one is superior for the poor-responder population with respect to cost and pregnancy outcomes.

• Evaluate if there are other potential benefits of mild-stimulation protocols, such as improved neonatal outcomes or lower complication rates.

• Compare cumulative pregnancy rates and live births between traditional- and mild-stimulation protocols
