Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Infertility Treatment
  • Ovarian Stimulation Protocols

Background:

  • Individualizing treatment for poor-responding patients in infertility therapy is crucial.
  • Established protocols include microdose flare leuprolide acetate and GnRH antagonist stimulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare treatment options for poor-responding patients undergoing infertility treatment.
  • To highlight the benefits of GnRH antagonists in optimizing ovarian stimulation.

Main Methods:

  • Review article and case study analysis.
  • Examination of microdose flare leuprolide acetate protocols.
  • Evaluation of GnRH antagonist stimulation protocols, including oral contraceptive pretreatment and adjusted gonadotropin/antagonist timing.

Main Results:

  • GnRH antagonist protocols demonstrate comparable or superior cycle outcomes to microdose flare leuprolide acetate.
  • Antagonists effectively suppress premature LH surges, a key benefit for poor responders.
  • Individualized GnRH antagonist protocols offer potential improvements over traditional methods.

Conclusions:

  • GnRH antagonists represent a significant advancement in ovarian stimulation protocols for poor responders.
  • Personalized GnRH antagonist strategies can enhance cycle outcomes in infertility treatment.
  • These findings may lead to revised clinical guidelines for managing poor ovarian responders.
