Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) may be observed in some young women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) [1]. The observation that administration of growth hormone (GH) during ovarian stimulation may improve IVF outcomes, not only in women aged >40 years [2] but also in younger women with RIF [3], led us to consider the use of GH therapy in women with RIF, independently of their age.

Abstract

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) may be observed in some young women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) [1]. The observation that administration of growth hormone (GH) during ovarian stimulation may improve IVF outcomes, not only in women aged >40 years [2] but also in younger women with RIF [3], led us to consider the use of GH therapy in women with RIF, independently of their age.
