Evaluating the role of exogenous luteinizing hormone in poor responders undergoing in vitro fertilization with gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists

Exogenous LH does not appear to be necessary to achieve pregnancy in these challenging patients and may be detrimental to older patients with a history of poor response.
