The hcg level is measured on the first day, and the hcg serum level is routinely measured on the fourth, seventh and fourteenth day.

In the second group, letrozole is given in the form of 2.5 mg tablets twice a day for 10 days. And on the fourth, seventh and fourteenth day, the HCG level is measured.

In the third group, letrozole is given in the form of 2.5 mg tablets 3 times a day for 5 days, and hCG levels are measured on days 4, 7, and 14.

Also, the level of blood cells, liver enzymes, urea level and serum creatinine level are measured on the first day and the seventh day after the treatment.

The level of antimullerin hormone is measured on the first day and 3 months after the treatment.
