The poor-responder patient in an in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) program.
The purpose of this article is to review the methods and evaluate the 'avenues' that are open to patients and physicians in their search for improvement of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment results. The option of egg donation, although very important and viable in the treatment of poor responders, is not described here.
