Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma Intraovarian Infusion for Poor Responders

Preparation of PRP will be performed immediately following blood sample collection. Blood samples will be collected from the median antebrachial vein. PRP will be prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions employing a Regen Autologous Cellular Regeneration (ACR®-C) Kit (Regen Laboratory, Le Mont-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland). Approximately 60 mL of the patient's peripheral blood will be required in order to yield the required volume of PRP. The goal concentration of platelets in PRP is approximately 1.000.000 platelets/µL. The technique of PRP intraovarian infusion resembles the transvaginal paracentesis performed during the oocyte pick-up procedure. Briefly, both ovaries are visualized via transvaginal ultrasound monitoring, and they are intramedullary injected on multiple sites using a 17-gauge single lumen needle, with the patient under inhaled minimal sedation.
