Management of the poor responder remains one of the greatest challenges of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in preparation for the assisted reproductive technologies. This chapter reviews a variety of approaches which have been employed in this poorly defined patient group. The profound suppression of gonadotropins induced by traditional long luteal gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) protocols may be particularly devastating for poor responders. Decreasing the GnRHa dose during the luteal phase prior to COH would theoretically decrease the extent of endogenous gonadotropin suppression while preventing premature ovulation. The administration of estradiol in the luteal phase may induce follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor formation in more resistant follicles and result in a more coordinated gonadotropin response. The ability to enhance endogenous follicular phase gonadotropin release by the administration of either clomiphene citrate or an aromatase inhibitor would represent an attractive adjunct to GnRHant protocols in poor-responder patients.
