Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Nutrition and in particular folate, or its synthetic derivative folic acid, is a B-vitamin which has been widely asssociated with reproductive outcome and subfertility. Therefore, in this study we aim to investigate the influence of preconception nutrition and folic acid use on ovarian response after mild/conventional stimulation treatment and to identify biomarkers in the follicular fluid which can indicate oocyte quality and other fertility outcomes.

Mild Ovarian Stimulation
Mild Ovarian Stimulation Treatment
Administration of a fixed dose of 150 IU/day rFSH s.c. (Puregon® NV Organon, Oss, The Netherlands) from cycle day 5 onwards. As soon as the leading follicle reached a diameter of 14mm, a GnRH-antagonist (Orgalutran®, NV Organon, Oss, The Netherlands) was administered at 0.25 mg/day s.c.. To induce final oocyte maturation a single s.c. dose of 10.000 IE hCG (Pregnyl®, NV Organon. Oss, The Netherlands) was administered.
Conventional Ovarian Stimulation
Conventional Ovarian Stimulation Treatment
Administration of GnRH agonist Triptorelin (Decapeptyl®, Ferring BV, Hoofddorp, The Netherlands) at 0.1 mg/day s.c., starting on cycle day 21 of the menstrual cycle preceding the actual stimulation cycle. After two weeks of the GnRH regimen, co-treatment with rFSH 225 IU/day s.c. (Puregon®, NV Organon, Oss, The Netherlands) was initiated. To induce final oocyte maturation a single s.c. dose of 10.000 IE hCG (Pregnyl®, NV Organon. Oss, The Netherlands) was administered
