      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The randomization list will be prepared by a statistician using the block randomization method (using the site:www.sealedenvelope.com). Treatments will be placed in sealed envelopes and will be kept by the out-of-study nurse. After identification of the eligibility of the patient, the procedure will be explained to her and informed consent will be obtained. Then the treatment will be performed based on the kind of treatment in the envelope, Blinding description: Completion of the final information is up to the person who is unaware of the type of treatment and also the specialist will be blind.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: GnRH(0.1 mg/daily) will be injected from mid-luteal phase until mense then in the second day of menstrual cycle recombinant FSH with LH will be injected. When the size of the follicle reaches 13-14 mm, the GnRH antagonist will be injected until trigger day. When the size of the follicle will reach above 18 mm HCG will be injected and 36 hours later ovarian puncture will be performed. Intervention 2: Group2:Ovarian stimulation with GnRH will be started from 2 days of the menstrual cycle. When the size of the follicle will reach above 13-14 mm GnRH antagonist (0.2 mg/daily) will be injected until trigger day. When the size of the follicle will reach above 18 mm HCG will be injected and 36 hours later ovarian puncture will be performed. One to three embryos will be transferred on the third day and luteal phase support is performed with progesterone.</i_freetext>

    <criteria>
      <inclusion_criteria>The criteria for diagnosing poor ovarian response are two of the following:1- Age 40 or older 2 - History of poor ovarian response (POR) in the previous cycle (oocyte less than 3 in a conventional protocol), 3-Antral follicle count (AFC) less than 5-7 or Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) &lt;0.5-1.1.
Twice poor ovarian response after maximal ovarian stimulation is sufficient reason to introduce the individual as POR without the need for other criteria.</inclusion_criteria>
