Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a pilot study evaluating the effect of a simplified low-cost (friendly) controlled ovarian stimulation using clomiphene citrate, letrozole, and low-dose hMG on the number of oocytes retrieved.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

COOL-COS

All women will receive the intervention: Letrozole, Clomiphene, and low-dose hMG for the controlled ovarian stimulation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

COOL-COS

Intervention Type DRUG

Controlled ovarian stimulation will start on the second or third day of a menstrual cycle:

* Oral clomiphene citrate: 100 mg/day until the day of the triggering.
* Oral letrozole: 7.5 mg/day during the first 5 days of the controlled ovarian stimulation.
* hMG: 150 IU every other day beginning on the day 6 of the controlled ovarian stimulation.

The triggering will be performed using urinary hCG (5,000 IU subcutaneous).

* 1-2 days after the identification of one follicle ≥ 17 mm
* 0-1 days after the identification of one follicle ≥ 19 mm.
