GnRH ant/letrozole
GnRH ant
Letrozole (Femara; Novertis pharma AG, Basle, Switzerland) is administered starting on cycle day one for 8 consecutive days . The dose of letrozole is 5mg /day during the first 5 days of cycle and 2.5 mg/day during the subsequent 3 days . Highly purified urinary FSH (HP-uFSH) (Fostimon, IBSA) 300 IU/day is started on cycle day 5 and is continued until and including the day of HCG administration. Starting from cycle day 8 , the dose of HP-uFSH is adjusted individually according to ovarian response which is monitored using transvaginal ultrasound and serum estradiol. GnRH antagonist (cetrorelix acetate)(Cetrotide®) 0.25 mg S.C once daily is started when the leading follicle is 14 mm in mean diameter and is continued until and including the day of HCG administration .
