Brief summary

Methods of infertility treatment may involve in vitro fertilization or IVF. Though effective, IVF is complex and expensive. Methods using no gonadotropin hormone stimulation of the ovaries are being compared to mild stimulation doses. The goal of the research is to determine which of these if more suitable as a low cost approach for varying individual patients.

Detailed description

Low cost environment is utilized, but fees are charged.
