Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the ovulation inhibition rate in cycles with Clomiphene versus Progesterone; verified by comparing the proportions of premature LH surge blockade between the groups; the outcome will be measured by confirming that the inhibition rate in the Clomiphene group is not inferior by more than 7% to the Progesterone group | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the cumulative live birth rate per follicular aspiration cycle; verified by monitoring patients and their records for 24 months; The live birth rate will be compared between the Progesterone and Clomiphene groups ;To compare the number of oocytes retrieved; verified by counting oocytes after follicular aspiration in the laboratory; The mean number of oocytes will be compared between the groups;To assess the oocyte maturation rate; verified by counting mature oocytes (MII) in the embryology laboratory; The MII oocyte rate will be compared between the groups;To compare the number of embryos available for cryopreservation; verified by counting viable embryos that reached the appropriate stage in the laboratory; The mean number of embryos will be compared between the groups | — |
