Detailed Description
The aims of this study are:
-
To assess the correlation between serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level after ovulation triggering and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome including: oocyte maturity and quality, good quality embryo rate, blastocyst formation rate and pregnancy rate
-
To determine if there is an association between type and dose of the trigger and ICSI outcome.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
uHCG group Trigger intramuscular (IM) administration of 10000 IU of uHCG |
Drug: uHCG
Final oocyte maturation will be triggered by IM administration of 10000 IU of uHCG (Choriomon)
Other Names:
|
rHCG group Trigger with subcutaneous (SC) administration of 6500 IU of rHCG |
Drug: rHCG
Final oocyte maturation will be triggered by SC administration of 6500 IU of rHCG (Ovitrelle)
Other Names:
|
Dual trigger group Combined SC administration of 0.1 mg of GnRHa and IM administration of 2500 IU of uHCG |
Drug: uHCG and GnRHa
Final oocyte maturation will be triggered by combined SC administration of 0.1 mg of GnRHa (Decapeptyl, Triptorelin) and IM administration of 2500 IU of uHCG (Choriomon)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Clinical pregnancy rate [6 weeks after embryo transfer]
Number of clinical pregnancies (defined as presence of at least one intrauterine gestational sac with fetal pole and cardiac activity on TVS scan at 4-6 weeks after the ET) divided by the number of ET procedures
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Oocyte maturation rate [On 1 day of oocyte retrieval]
Number of mature oocytes divided by the number of retrieved oocytes
