Inclusion Criteria

Our unit performs about 1500 IVF cycles per year and 70% of the patients have only one cycle of treatment per year. Fifteen per cent of these patients have anovulatory infertility and almost 80% of this group of women will have PCOS. Therefore, about 125 subjects will be suitable for the trial.
