Since the IVF treatment expands worldwide, it has become apparent that a proportion of women responds suboptimally to controlled ovarian stimulation with exogenous gonadotrophins. There is still no consensus on the ideal controlled ovarian stimulation protocol for patients with “poor” ovarian response. Many strategies have been studied. However, no compelling advantage for one treatment protocol over another has been identified. The addition of aromatase inhibitors in “poor” responders stimulation protocols is described in this article.
