Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of study is to assess the efficacy of add-on estrogen pretreatment in GnRH antagonist protocol on oocyte retrieval as compared with GnRH antagonist protocol for patients with poor ovarian response Add-on estrogen pretreatment protocol is superior to none pretreatment GnRH antagonist protocol for the number of oocytes retrieval


Clinical Trial Description

Women of advanced maternal age seeking ART treatment are characterized as poor ovarian responders in the process of ovarian simulation. Poor response to ovarian stimulation causes high cycle cancellation rate and extremely low pregnancy rate. More attention has been paid to the potential interest of steroid pretreatments in GnRH antagonist cycles; not only for scheduling the GnRH antagonist cycles, but also for synchronizing the follicular growth which may result in more oocytes retrieved. But available clinical results are controversial. Previous studies have shown that utilizing the natural negative feedback of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis induced by estradiol valerate pretreatment effectively prevented inter-cycle increases in follicle-stimulating hormone, improved follicle synchronization, and resulted in a more coordinated follicular development, leading to the recovery of more mature oocytes. However none of the randomized controlled studies compared estradiol valerate pretreatment or not on treatment outcomes, ongoing pregnancy rate, directly on poor response patients using estradiol valerate pretreatment in GnRH antagonist protocol. ;
