It is still a big difficult clinical problem for patients with poor ovarian reserve undergoing in vitro fertilization. The decrease in both quality and quantity of egg are the main cause for poor clinical prognosis. Growth hormone (GH) is currently one of the main adjuvant for improving pregnancy outcomes in patients with POR, and the investigators' previous retrospective study suggested GH was effective in live birth rate in subgroup of patients with POR older than 35 years old. To further figure out the mechanism of GH effectiveness in POR patients and the effect on clinical outcomes in POR patients, the investigators designed this prospective observational cohort study.
