Summary
This trial tests if starting synthetic human growth hormone (HGH) before IVF can help women with poor ovarian response produce more and better-quality eggs. The study focuses on women under 45 who have had limited success with previous treatments. HGH may improve egg development by boosting growth factors in the ovaries. Growth hormone (GH) has been explored in various studies to improve outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), particularly for those with diminished ovarian reserve or poor response to previous treatments.
