NCT01006954

Brief Summary

About 9 to 24 % of women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment respond poorly to the usual gonadotrophin stimulation protocol applied. Several induction ovulation treatments have been suggested for increasing pregnancy rate. In this study, the investigators will compare the outcome of Microflare protocol and Flare up regimen in poor responders.
