Recently, in patients with a suboptimal ovarian response, a study of the role of adding a single dose of GnRH agonist to a standard dose of hCG to initiate final oocyte maturation has also been studied. Griffin et al. (2014) reported that in patients who had more than 25% immature oocytes in their previous IVF cycle, the use of dual stimulation could increase the number of mature oocytes. Since studies in this field are limited, the researchers decided to design a clinical trial to investigate the effect of adding a GnRH agonist to a standard dose of hCG to initiate final oocyte maturation in patients with a sub-optimal ovarian response.
