Drug-free In Vitro Activation (IVA) of follicles for infertility treatment in poor ovarian response patients with decreased ovarian reserve

ConclusionsThe present drug-free IVA approach may be suitable for POR patients with DOR, as it increased the number of antral follicles. The procedure also eliminated the need for 2-day incubation with drugs and required only one surgery. This approach could allow the retrieval of more oocytes in middle-age women to achieve higher pregnancy rates and deserves proper evaluation in future randomized controlled trials.
