Growth Hormone (GH) Improvement of Ovarian Responses and Pregnancy Outcome in Poor Ovarian Responders: A Randomized Study.

Recent evidence has emphasized growth hormone benefits in increasing the ovarian response and improving the pregnancy rate in poor responders (POR), caused by aging, ovarian surgery, chemotherapy and other reasons, undergoing IVF/ICSI. The most important factor in the treatment of POR patients is the quality and quantity of oocytes following ovarian stimulation; thus, efforts should be made to provide opportunities for young patients to improve their fertility and ovarian responses. The use of GH in these patients may offer a promising aid to successful fertility.
