1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Investigational Oocyte CryopreservationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
All subjects will undergo controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. They will be treated with variable dosages of injectable gonadotrophins over a period of 8 to 12 days. Response will be monitored using vaginal ultrasound and serum estradiol levels. When appropriate follicle maturation has been achieved, a single dose of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) will be administered to induce final oocyte maturation. Thirty-six hours after hCG administration, the subject will undergo standard transvaginal oocyte retrieval under ultrasound guidance. The procedure takes approximately 20 minutes and is carried out under conscious sedation with Fentanyl and Versed. The oocytes are immediately handed off to the embryology technicians in the IVF laboratory.
