Study arms

  • Experimental
    recombinant luteinizing hormone

    150 IU r-LH, recombinant luteinising hormone, from treatment day 1 (stimulation day 1) until day of r-hCG administration (normally treatment day 10 to 14)

    Drug: recombinant luteinizing hormone (r-LH)

  • Active comparator

    Drug: recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (r-hCG)

Interventions

  • Drugrecombinant luteinizing hormone (r-LH)
