In minimal stimulation IVF, treatment is aimed at using the single oocyte that spontaneously develops to dominance. To prevent untimely ovulation, a GnRH antagonist is administered in the late follicular phase of the natural cycle together with recombinant FSH for substitution. Owing to the lack of ovarian stimulation, minimal stimulation IVF is a low-risk and patient-friendly treatment. In this study, effectiveness of minimal stimulation IVF was studied.
