IVA vs spontaneous resumption of ovarian function
DELIVERY LIVEBORN Spontaneous delivery
FOLLICULAR GROWTH/ MENSES RESUMPION In vitro activation
Suzuki et al, Hum Reprod 2015 Bidet et al., JCEM 2011
Conclusions
 Prognosis in poor responders is always poor
 Ovarian stimulation has limited effect and only when follicles exist
 Future research should focus on increasing the recruitable follicular pool
 Testosterone or in vitro activation of primordial follicles appear promising
