Brief Summary

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

This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of two endometrial preparation protocols for the first frozen embryo transfer cycle in PCOS with whole embryo freezing. Subjects will be randomized to letrozole-stimulated group or hormone replacement treatment group in their first frozen embryo transfer cycle, and their pregnancy and perinatal outcomes during this cycle will be followed up and analysis.
