Brief Summary

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

Stimulation protocols for IVF underwent several cycles of upgrading aiming to achieve reasonable outcomes with low-cost cycles. Antagonist protocols have been introduced as effective and comparable to long agonist regarding the outcomes. However, these protocols are still costly. Alternative protocols using progestin suppressions appear options for consideration.

Dydrogesterone Suppression

Dydrogesterone 30 mg on stimulation day 5 till the trigger day to prevent luteinizing hormone (LH) surge. The stimulation is with 150-300 IU FSH/HMG starting on cycle day 2 and adjusted according to the AFC and AMH.

LH Suppression

Intervention Type DRUG

Stimulation protocols

Dydrogesterone Suppression with minimal stimulation

Dydrogesterone 30 mg on stimulation day 5 till the trigger day to prevent LH surge. The stimulation is with clomifene citrate 50 mg three times daily with150 IU FSH starting on cycle day 2 and continued every other day and adjusted according to the AFC and AMH.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

LH Suppression

Intervention Type DRUG

Stimulation protocols

Antagonist Suppression

cetrorelix acetate 0.25 started on stimulation day 6 till the trigger day to prevent LH surge. The stimulation is with150-300 IU FSH starting on cycle day 2 and continued daily and adjusted according to the AFC and AMH.
