Study Summary
Patients with infertility often undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) to achieve a pregnancy, which involves ovarian stimulation, monitoring of follicular growth, oocyte retrieval, sperm insemination, embryo culture and embryo transfer. The oocytes are removed during surgery by aspirating the follicles using a single lumen needle with an ultrasound to guide the procedure. There is some data that flushing the follicles with embryo culture media before aspiration using a double lumen needle increases the number of oocytes retrieved, particularly among poor responding patients for whom each additional oocyte recovered may substantially alter the outcome of that IVF cycle. The objective of the research is to evaluate the effect of follicular flushing in poor responders on IVF cycle outcomes.
Primary Outcome
To evaluate the number of oocytes retrieved with follicular flushing in poor responders
Interventions
- OTHER Aspiration without flushing follicles with culture media
- OTHER Follicular Flushing
