Background:

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a standard treatment for sterility.
Ovarian stimulation is crucial for successful IVF outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To review different ovarian stimulation protocols used in IVF.
To compare the efficacy, indications, and drawbacks of various stimulation schemes.

Main Methods:

Discussion of established protocols: clomiphene citrate with hCG, clomiphene/HMG with hCG, and HMG with hCG.
Exploration of newer methods: pure FSH and GnRH analogues for follicular development and oocyte maturation.

Main Results:

Various stimulation protocols have demonstrated success in IVF.
Newer agents like FSH and GnRH analogues offer alternative approaches to oocyte retrieval.
