Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Serum testosterone level after 12 weeks of administration of Myo-Inositol [2 years]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Androstenedione and SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) plasma levels after 12 weeks of administration of Myo-Inositol [2 years]
- Number of mature oocytes [2 years]
- Embryo quality [2 years]
Day 3 embryos will be classified as transferable or cryopreservable/ 'good-quality embryos' (GQE) according to the criteria described by Van Landuyt et al. (2013). Blastocysts will be categorized according to Gardner et al. (1998) and Gardner and Schoolcraft (1999).
- Implantation rate (%) [2 years]
- Clinical pregnancy rate (%) [2 years]
- Live birth rate in fresh cycle [2 years]
