Success rates in minimal stimulation cycle IVF with clomiphene citrate only.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine age-adjusted overall success rates for patients undergoing clomiphene citrate only minimal stimulation cycle (mini) in vitro fertilization (IVF) without any gonadotropin administration.

Methods

Eight hundred thirty-nine women (mean age: 38.4 ± 0.1 years; 2488 cycles) underwent clomiphene citrate only mini-IVF. Their first oocyte retrieval was between January 2009 and December 2009, with follow-up until December 2014. The cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) per oocyte retrieval cycle started and live birth rate per oocyte was retrospectively analyzed. The basic CLBR was calculated as the number of women who achieved a live birth divided by the total number of women who started oocyte retrieval.

Results

The mean number of oocytes retrieved was 1.5. Th
