Does adding growth hormone boost success in IVF?
A Cochrane review finds a benefit for women with poor ovarian response but the evidence is weak, authors say

The authors caution, however, the evidence for these findings is of ‘low’ or ‘very low’ certainty and larger randomised controlled trials are needed.
