The presence of dominant follicles and corpora lutea does not perturb response to controlled ovarian stimulation in random start protocols

Abstract The advent of random start protocols to shorten the time needed to store oocytes in women with malignancies has represented an important improvement in the field of fertility preservation. However, Randomized Controlled Trials are difficult to implement in this area and available evidence t...
