PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At completion of ovarian stimulation; maximally after 18 days of recFSH administration.

Population: The number of participants for this analysis included only those participants in the intent-to-treat (ITT) group who received hCG and for whom data was available.

The hCG criterion is met the first day that 3 follicles \>= 17 mm are observed.
