Propofol

Thiopental

Arm Description

In this arm patients will be receiving propofol for anaesthesia at doses 3-5mg depending on the time needed to complete oocyte retrieval

In this arm patients will receive thiopental for anaesthesia at doses 7mg and a repeat dose of 2-3mg depending on the time needed to completed oocyte retrieval

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Fertilization rate
The number of oocytes fertilized divided by the number of oocytes in which fertilization was attempted per randomized patient

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of MII oocytes
Pregnancy rate
Patients with positive (>20 IU/L) b-hCG test at 14 days after embryo transfer
Implantation rate
Number of gestational sacs per embryos transferred per patient
The concentration of propofol or thiopental in the follicular fluid of the dominant (larger) follicle aspirated at oocyte retrieval
