Brief Summary

Induction of ovulation cycle:

  1. 1.Gonadotrophines is started on day 2 with HMG(merional, IBSA) ,until the day of HCG administration(choriomon,IBSA10000IU) with starting dose 300 to 450iu.
  2. 2.GNRH antagonist (cetrorelix 0,25mg s.c, cetrotide, serono laboratories, Aubonne Switzerland) is given using flexible protocol, it is given when at least one follicle reaches size 14 mm to prevent premature lutenization ,until the day of hCG administration
  3. 3.Ovarian ultrasound scans were performed using a 5.0-9.0 MHZ multi frequency trans vaginal probe (mindrayDP-5)to assess the ovarian response till the mature follicles reach18-20mm when hCG administration 10000 IU is given.Serum E2 level is done on day of HCG trigger.
  4. 4.Trans vaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval is performed 34-36 hours after hCG injection
  5. 5.Progesterone vaginal tablets (Prontogest,IBSA) are administrated 400mg twice daily as luteal support from the day of oocytes retrieval.
  6. 6.Ultrasound -guided fresh embryo transfer is performed on day 2 or 3 after fertilization.
  7. 7.Serum hCG assessment to detect pregnancy is performed at 14 days after embryo transfer .if positive(chemical pregnancy) ,women undergo trans -vaginal ultrasonography 2 weeks after, to confirm fetal pulsations as well as number of gestational sacs (clinical pregnancy).
  8. 8.The implantation rate is calculated as the number of viable embryos divided by the number of transferred embryos multiplied by 100

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years - 44 Years
Sexfemale(Gender-based eligibility)
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Poor responder according to ESHRE consensus; in which at least 2 of the following should be present: Advanced maternal age (≥ 40 years old) or any other risk factor A previous poor ovarian response (cycles cancelled or ≤ 3 oocytes with a conventional protocol)An abnormal ovarian reserve test (ORT); antral follicle count (AFC) \< 5-7 follicles or anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) ≤0.5- 1.1 ng/ml In the absence of advanced maternal age or abnormal ORT, two previous episodes of poor ovarian response after maximal stimulation patients are also considered poor responders according to ESHRE consensus.
  • Presence and Adequate visualization of both ovaries Uterine cavity within normal anatomy assessed with HSG, hysteroscopy and TVUS

You may not qualify if:

  • Any factor which may affect reproductive outcome other than that the patient is a poor responder will be excluded from the study, like:
  • Severe male factor .
  • Uterine factor (eg: fibroid, polyp, Ashermann, .. etc)
  • Immunological disorder (eg: SLE, APS, … etc)
  • Thyroid or adrenal dysfunction
  • Neoplasia (especially: hypothalamic, pit, ovarian)
  • Women diagnosed with PCOS according to Rotterdam criteria
  • Hydrosalpinx that hasn't been surgically removed or ligated.
  • Untreated hyperprolactinemia
  • Abnormal bleeding disorder
  • Hepatic or renal dysfunction
  • Hypersenstivity to study medication ( GNRH antagonist)
  • Need to take medication that can influence ovarian stimulation
  • Endometriosis grade 3 or 4
  • Ovarian cyst\> 10 cm.
