Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Ovulatory patients undergoing in vitro fertilization cycles will start treatment with intramuscular injection of urinary gonadotropins, 2 ampoules (150 IU) per day and subcutaneous injections of GnRH-a (Triptorelin) on the first day of the menstrual period and continued till the day of human chorionic gonadotropins (hCG) administration. We administered human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) when at least three follicles of 16 mm or more in diameter and adequate estradiol plasma concentrations were detected. Patients will be randomly assigned to three groups; group A, group B and group C . The daily dose of Triptorelin will be 0.1 mg, 50 ug, and 25 ug in groups A, B and C respectively.'
