GONAL-f®

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

GONAL-f®

Intervention Type DRUG

GONAL-f® will be administered subcutaneously to subjects between Day 2 and Day 5 of their cycle with a starting dose of 75 International Units (IU) per day for subjects who undergo ovulation induction (OI)/artificial insemination (IUI) and between 150 and 225 IU per day for subjects who undergo in-vitro fertilization (IVF). For subjects who undergo OI/IUI, the dose will be increased by 37.5 IU after Day 14 up to Week 4 if no ovarian response is observed.
