Pros of PRP are that we can recruit more follicles and then get more eggs in an IVF cycle and that we can have a better endometrium for the embryo transfer so that we have higher success rates in an IVF cycle. The contra is that ovarian PRP has to be injected in a little intervention, so any intervention has the risk of bleeding or also the risk of infection.
