Brief Summary
At the start of the controlled ovarian stimulation as a part of the IVF/ICSI treatment patients are informed about this trial. In case they gave informed consent and they have a progesterone level between 1 and 1.5 ng/ml at the day of the hCG injection, they will be randomised. One group of patients will have a fresh embryo transfer, in the second group all embryos will be cryopreserved and transfered in a subsequent (natural or artificial) cycle. The aim of this study is to compare clinical pregnancy rate between the two groups.
