Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Successful ovulatory response as determined by disappearance of dominant follicle on USGTimepoint: To assess response, follicular phase ultrasound will be performed on day 11 of the cycle. Follicular monitoring will continue every alternate day till a Dominant follicle of size more than 16 mm is formed. Timed intercourse will be advised. Response to treatment implies disappearance of at least one dominant follicle more than 16 mm diameter or appearance of corpus luteal cyst

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Number of different sizes of dominant follicles developed in each group. 2. Time to ovulation. 3.Maximum follicle size before rupture. 4. Endometrial thickness at the time of ovulation. 5.Need for Injection Gonadotropin. 6.Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome rate (OHSS). 7.Clinical pregnancy rate. 8. Rate of multiple pregnancies. 9.Cycle cancellation rate. 10. Abortion rate. 11.Side effects like nausea, vomiting & any other drug reactions.Timepoint: 1.On each follicular scan(Day 11 till ovulation) 2.From start of treatment to ovulation,per cycle 3.On last scan before rupture/ovulation 4.On last scan before follicle rupture 5.Recorded per cycle if given for ovulation trigger 6.Upto 2 weeks post-ovulation 7.UPT test if missed periods after 2 weeks 8.On early pregnancy USG (6 10 weeks gestation) 9.Documented per cycle due to non-response or complications 10.Recorded through first trimester follow-up 11.Monitored throughout each treatment cycle
