Objective: To compare Clomiphene Citrate (CC) and lower dose of Human chorionic Gonadotropins (HMG) plus Gonadotropins Releasing Hormone (GnRH) antagonist with conventional mid-luteal long agonist GnRH with higher dose of HMG in women with poor ovarian response, undergoing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Poor ovarian response was defined as the development of less than 3 follicles ≥ 17 mm on HCG day in a previous midluteal GnRH agonist-IVF/ICSI cycle or women with age >35 years old. Method: Pilot non blind two arms parallel randomised controlled. Seventy women with a history of previous poor ovarian response undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for ICSI. Interventions: The control group (n=35) received a conventional mid-luteal long GnRH agonist treatment with daily injections of HP HMG, starting on day 2 of the.. View More»
