Comparing two IVF approaches for women with low egg reserve
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether doing two shorter rounds of hormone stimulation in one menstrual cycle (dual ovarian stimulation) leads to more live births than the usual two separate stimulation cycles for women who have a low egg reserve. The goal is to find a better way to help women who have had limited success with IVF.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 44 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with poor ovarian response (low egg reserve), based on at least two of these three: age 40 or older, fewer than 4 eggs retrieved in a past IVF cycle, or low AMH (a hormone level) and low antral follicle count.
- Your BMI is between 19 and 32.
- You have had no more than two previous IVF cycles.
- You do not have amenorrhea (no menstrual periods for a long time).
- Your partner's sperm is not extremely abnormal (no severe sperm issues or donor sperm).

This study compares two methods of stimulating the ovaries before IVF: one using a standard hormone (hCG) and another using a different protocol. The goal is to see if the new method works as well as the standard one, while possibly being more cost-effective.
This study compares two ways to prepare the ovaries for egg retrieval before IVF: using a progestin hormone or a GnRH antagonist. The goal is to see which method leads to more successful embryo transfers.
This trial compares dydrogesterone with a GnRH antagonist to see which works better for women with a low number of eggs (poor responders) who are undergoing two rounds of egg retrieval in one cycle. It may help improve outcomes for those with specific fertility challenges.
This trial tests whether adding growth hormone and DHEA to your IVF medications can help women with low ovarian reserve get more eggs and improve pregnancy chances. It may be an option if you are over 40, have had few eggs before, or have low egg count markers.
This trial tests a new way to stimulate ovaries after ovulation using a single injection of Elonva, compared to a standard method starting on day 2 of the menstrual cycle. It aims to see which approach leads to more mature eggs for IVF or ICSI.
This trial compares two hormone protocols for women with a low number of eggs (poor ovarian responders) undergoing IVF where embryos are frozen for later transfer. It tests if a medication called drospirenone can improve egg retrieval compared to the standard approach.
