NCT03846544

Brief Summary

The purpose of this randomized pilot study is to compare the efficacy of double oocyte retrieval vs. conventional antagonist ovarian stimulation protocol in poor prognosis patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: Corifollitoropin alfa (CFA)-double pick up

Interventions

In the study group, 225 IU of recombinant FSH (rFSH) will continue after the first oocyte retrieval (OR). Antagonist administration will be initiated when at least one follicle measuring ≥14 mm will be present in the ultrasound. If one or more follicles ≥17 mm are observed, patients will undergo a second triggering with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) 5000 IU and a second OR will be performed. In case of patients with no follicular development following 10 additional days of rFSH post-OR
