Drug: Letrozole 2.5mg tablet

Aromatase inhibitor/flexible antagonist protocol

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

letrozole orally in a dose of 2.5 mg daily, on day 2 of cycle for 5 days and gonadotropins (300-450 IU) IM start on cycle day 3. then the dose modulated according to response

Drug: Letrozole 2.5mg tablet

Interventions

letrozole (femara, Novartis) orally in a dose of 2.5 mg daily, on day 2 of cycle for 5 days and gonadotropins (300-450 IU) IM start on cycle day 3. then the dose modulated according to response

Also known as: Gonadotropins units
