OBJECTIVE
To study the outcome in poor responders to three ampules (225 IU) of hMG per day in subsequent IVF treatment cycles in which six ampules (450 IU)of hMG per day were administered.
DESIGN
Retrospective chart review.
SETTING
Academic tertiary center.
PATIENTS
Between January 1988 and May 1995, 126 poor response patients had a first treatment cycle on three ampules and a second cycle on six ampules of hMG per day.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
Numbers of follicles, oocytes, and embryos, and pregnancy rates.
RESULTS
On six ampules, patients had significantly more follicles and oocytes. The number of embryos did not differ significantly. The pregnancy rate on six ampules were low (3.2% pregnancies per cycle started).
CONCLUSION
Poor responders do not benefit from high-dose hMG stimulation; their reproduction outcome is poor.
