Brief Summary

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

This is a Phase IV, prospective, observational, single arm, multicenter trial to identify the population at high risk of overstimulation associated with signs and symptoms of PCOS and examines the utility of 12.5 international units (IU) increment of Gonal-f® new pen for individualized controlled ovarian stimulation (iCOS).

Study Groups

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

Subjects undergoing ART treatment with long GnRH-a or GnRH-ant

Subjects undergoing ART treatment with long GnRH-a protocol or GnRH-ant protocol + Gn + human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) as per routine clinical practice. No visits or intervention(s) additional to the routine practice of the Investigators will be performed during this observational study.

Gonal-f®

Intervention Type DRUG

Recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone (r-FSH) will be administered subcutaneously (SC) for about 10 to 20 days along with the ART regimen as routinely practiced by Investigators and according to licensed summary of product characteristics (SmPC label) for the ovarian stimulation.

Long GnRH agonist

Intervention Type DRUG

As a part of the ART regimen GnRH-agonist will be administered for about 14 to 20 days until down regulation is satisfied as judged by investigator.

GnRH antagonist

Intervention Type DRUG

As a part of ART regimen GnRH-antagonist will be initiated and regimen will be as routinely practiced by Investigators and according to licensed SmPC label.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Female subjects aged 20 to 35 years (including both)
* Subjects undergoing ART treatment with long GnRH-a protocol or GnRH-ant protocol + Gn + human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
* Subject from whom a written informed consent has been obtained with the understanding that the subject may withdraw consent at any time without prejudice to future medical care

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects undergoing ART treatment with mild stimulation protocol
* Concomitant use of Gonal-f® with clomiphene citrate
* With an In vitro fertilisation (IVF)/ Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) history of greater than or equal to (\>=) 3 times
* Known history of poor ovarian response in a previous COS cycle for IVF/ICSI, defined as less than 4 oocytes retrieved or history of previous cycle cancellation prior to oocyte retrieval due to poor response or poor ovarian reserve, such as Antral follicle count (AFC) less than (\<) 5 to 7
* Presence of confirmed or suspected endometriosis Grade III - IV
* Presence of unilateral or bilateral hydrosalpinx
* Using other Gn during stimulation period (such as urinary FSH/human menopausal Gn, except for recombinant luteinizing hormone (r-LH))
* Known history of recurrent miscarriage
* Any contradiction to Gn/GnRH analogues
* Any major systemic disease that as per Investigator's discretion precludes subject for participation in the study
* According to the judgment of the Investigator, any medical condition or any concomitant
* surgery/ medications that would interfere with evaluation of study medications
* Simultaneous participation in another clinical study
