Overview
This randomized trial aims to compare the euploid rate of blastocysts in AMA patients undergoing PGT-A (preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy) with or without growth hormone supplement.
Infertile patients ≥38 years old will be recruited for study after informed consent if they fulfill the inclusion criteria and do not have the exclusion criteria. Eligible women will be randomised into one of the two groups:
Treatment group: Women will receive growth hormone (GH) supplement before and during antagonist protocol for ovarian stimulation.
Control group: Women will receive antagonist protocol for ovarian stimulation. The primary outcome is the euploidy rate of blastocysts.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥38; intended to undergo PGT-A
Exclusion Criteria:
- Endometriosis grade 3 or higher, untreat hydrosalpinx,
- Women with a uterine cavity abnormality, such as a uterine congenital malformation (uterus uni-cornate, bicornate, or duplex); untreated uterine septum, adenomyosis, submucous myoma, or endo-metrial polyp(s)
- Women who are indicated and planned to undergo PGT-SR (Preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangement) or PGT-M (Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorder), for example, parental abnormal karyo-type or diagnosed with monogenic disease;
