Low responders

 

The term low responder is used for patients whose ovaries do not respond well to gonadotropin stimulation. In patients diagnosed as low responders, the limited number of oocytes is considered to be the main problem in optimising newborn rates. As a result of the low number of oocytes obtained, the patient has fewer embryos to select and transfer, which decreases her chances of achieving pregnancy compared to patients who respond well to ovarian stimulation.

The incidence of low responders ranges from 9-24%, although in the coming years this range is expected to increase due to the direct influence of age on ovarian responsiveness as more and more women delay maternity.

FAQs

Although low ovarian reserve can be a problem when it comes to gestation, we currently have different treatment solutions that increase the chances of achieving pregnancy with your own oocytes, such as oocyte accumulation and/or the double stimulation protocol.

Among the known causes of low ovarian reserve, smoking, endometriosis, previous ovarian surgery, exposure to toxins and chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments have been described.  There is also sometimes a clear familial genetic component. In most cases, low ovarian reserve is the result of a combination of environmental and genetic factors.
