premature ovarian insufficiency, in-vitro activation (IVA) method, poor ovarian response (POR)Abstract
The newly developed in-vitro activation (IVA) method provides a novel fertility treatment for patients with premature ovarian
insufficiency. The IVA method pretends to promote growth of residual ovarian follicles at early stages of their development. Based
on preliminary data, poor ovarian response (POR) patients with decreased ovarian reserve (DOR) who have multiple secondary
follicles, IVA is a promising technique to promote growth of secondary follicle as well.
