In In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, poor responder patients of more than 38 years old are randomized prospectively into two dosages of gonadotrophins. The outcome of treatment will be analyzed.
Women > 38 years, who had an insufficient response to stimulation with regular (for age) posology of 225 IU of gonadotrophins (urinary or recombinant), in an agonist protocol will be randomized prospectively into 2 groups:

300 IU versus 450 IU of Gonal-f® administered in a short agonist protocol. Insufficient response is defined as: development of ≤ 4 mature follicles (of ≥ 16 mm) at time of hCG administration.

Patient can be eligible for several cycles in same protocol.
