NCT02397551

Brief Summary

To salvage the luteal phase and improve pregnancy rate in antagonist IVF/ICSI cycles triggered with GnRH agonist. Two strategies are compared supplementing the luteal phase with three small doses (500 IU) of HCG and giving a booster dose of HCG (1500 IU) on the day of ovum pickup.
