Abstract in brief

  • Testosterone does not improve the number of mature oocytes retrieved in women with poor ovarian response, regardless of whether it is administered for a long or short duration before IVF.
  • The study showed no significant differences in cycle parameters such as total oocytes retrieved or follicle counts among women who received testosterone for 10 days, 56 days, or no testosterone at all.
  • Elevated testosterone levels were observed at the start of ovarian stimulation in the testosterone groups, but this did not translate into improved ovarian response, indicating testosterone supplementation is not effective in this context.]

New study by @jessica_subira and team at the Fertility Preservation Unit, La Fe Hospital, demonstrates that the use of testosterone, even when applied for a prolonged period of time, does not improve the number of mature oocytes in poor ovarian response. https://t.co/GYvKEGehAe https://t.co/GyCr9yBZv2
