What if i don’t respond well to ovarian stimulation?

Posted by | 19 Apr, 2023 | | 0 |

Ovarian stimulation treatments aim to ensure that multiple follicles develop instead of just one or two, which is what usually occurs in a natural menstrual cycle. In IVF treatments, stimulation is used to provide enough oocytes to obtain at least one embryo suitable for transfer. However, not all women respond well to ovarian stimulation: it is estimated that up to 25% of women have a poor response. Unfortunately, this is something that cannot always be anticipated.

We all worry about our first wrinkles and our first grey hairs, but we rarely ask ourselves how the passage of time affects our heart or other organs in our body, let alone our ovaries. Yet, ovaries are among the fastest ageing organs. Deterioration begins at the age of 30, and from the age of 35 onwards, this process accelerates progressively.

The problem is that nowadays, at least in Western countries and especially in Spain,...
