Comparison of ICSI and conventional IVF in non-male factor patients with less than four oocytes.

Background: We aimed to analyse our clinical results for a particular subgroup of patients with poor ovarian response (POR) to clarify if lower number of oocytes is a drawback for proceeding to C-IVF.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, patient files of all couples (#1733) who underwent oocyte retrieval between January 2017 and December 2019 were reviewed and 191 cases diagnosed with non-male factor infertility in which ≤ 3 cumulus-oocyte complexes available for fertilisation were analysed. Exclusion criteria were: woman age > 42, patients with a history of previous ART trial, prenatal genetic testing cycles and couples undergoing total cryopreservation for any indication.
