Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
luteal ovarian stimulation
The controlled ovarian stimulation in in vitro fertilization cycle was started since luteal phase.
luteal ovarian stimulation
In the in vitro fertilization cycle, controlled ovarian stimulation was started since the luteal phase.
follicular ovarian stimulation
The controlled ovarian stimulation in in vitro fertilization cycle was started since early follicular phase phase.
follicular ovarian stimulation
In the in vitro fertilization cycle, controlled ovarian stimulation was started since the follicular phase.
Interventions

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
1. advanced maternal age (≥ 40 years) or any other risk factor for POR,
2. a previous POR (≤ 3 oocytes with a conventional stimulation protocol), and
3. an abnormal ovarian reserve test. An abnormal ovarian reserve test was defined as antral follicle count (AFC) \< 5 or anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) \< 1 ng/mL in this study.
Moreover, two episodes of a previous POR after maximal stimulation alone would be sufficient to define a patient as a POR.
Exclusion Criteria
* exposure to cytotoxic or pelvic irradiation for malignancy
* taking herbal drugs or other hormonal agents
