Can poor responders use supplements to improve IVF outcomes?

Many supplements are used in cases of poor ovarian response to enhance the chances of getting pregnant of these patients, including DHEA, testosterone, CoQ10, human growth hormone (hGH), etc. However, in some cases they work, while in others don't. Again, it depends on the response of each woman and the cause behind POR in each case.
