Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention Group
Patients randomized to this group will receive the intra-ovarian platelet rich plasma injection
|
Other: intra-ovarian platelet rich plasma injection
patients will undergo a transvaginal intra-ovarian platelet rich plasma injection |
No Intervention: Control Group
Patients randomized to this group will not receive the intra-ovarian platelet rich plasma injection

- number of participants with a mature oocyte retrieved- POI group [ Time Frame: 24 hours post egg retrieval procedure ]success or failure is determined by the retrieval of at least one mature oocyte
- number of mature oocytes retrieved- POR group [ Time Frame: 24 hours post egg retrieval procedure ]the total number of mature oocytes retrieved

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 38 Years (Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Female |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion criteria
-
POI according to ESHRE criteria (patient must fit both criteria):
- presence of menstrual disturbance defined as oligo/amenorrhea for at least 4 months
- biochemical confirmation as evidenced by an elevated FSH level >25 IU/L on two occasions > 4 weeks apart
- POR defined by at least two prior cycles with POR (≤3 oocytes retrieved with a conventional stimulation protocol, or a cancelled cycle due to poor response)
- Patients declining ovum donation treatment
Exclusion criteria
- Age <18yo or >38yrs
- Autoimmune or sex chromosome etiology of POI
- Ongoing malignancy
- Previous ovarian surgery
- Previous gonadotoxic treatment
- Anticoagulant use for which plasma infusion is contraindicated
- FMR1 mutations
- If the duration of the amenorrhea is more than 2 years, patients are discouraged to participate, although it is not an exclusion criterion.
- Patients with only 1 ovary
- BMI > 35
- Male partner with <100,000 total motile spermatozoa per ejaculate (donor sperm is acceptable)
- Surgically obtained sperm
- Presence of hydrosalpinges that communicate with endometrial cavity
- Single gene disorder or chromosomal rearrangement requiring a more detailed embryonic genetic analysis
- Diagnosis of endometrial insufficiency: prior cycle with maximal endometrial thickness ≤ 6mm, abnormal endometrial pattern (failure to attain a trilaminar appearance), persistent endometrial fluid
- Use of a gestational carrier
- Any contraindications to undergoing in vitro fertilization or gonadotropin stimulation
- Known ovaries that are not accessible transvaginally.
- Ovarian endometrioma(s) or dermoid cyst(s) identified via transvaginal ultrasound
- FSH > 40iu/l
