The purpose of this study is to investigate levels of progesterone in the luteal phase after various stimulations in the follicular phase and treatment with GnRH antagonist protocol followed by GnRHagonist as induction of ovulation.
The purpose of this study is to investigate levels of progesterone in the luteal phase after various stimulations in the follicular phase and treatment with GnRH antagonist protocol followed by GnRHagonist as induction of ovulation. Furthermore the aim is to explore whether the luteal phase can be supported with small daily boluses of hCG without the administration of exogenous P, while maintaining good reproductive outcome.

Estimate

Drug hCG(r-hCG, Ovitrelle, Merck-Serono, Hellerup, Denmark) in the late follicular phase + luteal phase

when the follicles are over 12 mm FSH(r-hFSH; Gonal-F, Merck-Serono, Hellerup, Denmark) is replaced by hCG (r-hCG, Ovitrelle,Merck-Serono, Hellerup,Denmark).

Drug hCG(r-hCG, Ovitrelle,Merck-Serono, Hellerup, Denmark) in the follicular phase + luteal phase

hCG(r-hCG,Ovitrelle,Merck-Serono, Hellerup, Denmark) is given together with FSH(r-hFSH; Gonal-F, Merck-Serono, Hellerup, Denmark) from the beginning of the FSH(r-hFSH; Gonal-F, Merck-Serono, Hellerup, Denmark)stimulation.

Drug LH(r-LH,Luveris, Merck-Serono, Hellerup, Denmark) in the luteal phase

LH(r-LH, Luveris, Merck-Serono, Hellerup, Denmark) replaces progesterone and estradiol in the luteal phase.

Drug vaginal progesterone(Crinone; Merck-Serono, Hellerup, Denmark) and estradiol(Estrofem; Novo Nordisk, Copenhagen, Denmark) in the luteal phase

The usual dose of vaginal progesterone(Crinone; Merck-Serono, Hellerup, Denmark) and estradiol (Estrofem; Novo Nordisk, Copenhagen, Denmark) is given in the luteal phase-
