  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Ongoing pregnancy rate [12 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

      Presence of at least one live fetus at the end of the 12th gestational week

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Clinical pregnancy rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

      Presence of an intrauterine gestational sac with fetal heart beat at 7th week of gestation

    2. Implantation rate [5 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

      Percentage of gestational sacs compared to the number of embryos transferred

    3. Biochemical pregnancy [10 days after embryo transfer]

      Positive serum beta HCG test performed 10 days after embryo transfer

    4. Biochemical miscarriage [before 5th gestational week]

      pregnancy loss before ultrasonographic detection of an intrauterine gestational sac

    5. Clinical miscarriage [after 5th gestational week]

      pregnancy loss after ultrasonographic detection of an intrauterine gestational sac

    6. headache rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

    7. interference with coitus rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

    8. somnolence rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

    9. dizziness rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

    10. nausea/vomiting rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

    11. vaginal discharge rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

    12. perineal irritation rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

    13. abdominal pain rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

    14. mastalgia rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

    15. vaginal bleeding rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

    16. interference with intercourse rate [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

    17. overall satisfaction score [6-7 weeks after the last menstrual period of the patient]

      patient satisfaction from the drug used measured on a 1-5 scale
