| Intervention |
100 mg of Clomiphene citrate once daily for 5 days in a flexible GnRH antagonist protocol
Group B - Ultrashort flare protocol |
100 mg of Clomiphene citrate was administered once daily for 5 days along with 300-450IU of human menopausal gonadotropin starting from D1 or 2 of the menstrual cycle, after confirming ovarian downregulation, in a flexible Gn RH antagonist protocol where once the dominant follicle was more than 14 mm 0.25 mg of GnRH antagonist was started to prevent premature leutinization. |
| Comparator Agent |
Ultrashort flare protocol using 1mg of undiluted leuprolide once daily for 4 days |
1mg of undiluted leuprolide once daily for 4 days was started with 300-450IU of human menopausal gonadotropin from day 1 or 2 of menses in a flexible GnRH antagonist protocol again using 0.25 mg of cetrotide daily till trigger injection to avoid premature leutinization and ovulation. |

Brief Summary
|
A randomized controlled trial to compare the outcomes of controlled ovarian stimulation in patients with diminished ovarian reserve(POSEIDON groups 3 &4) using Clomiphene citrate with flexible GnRH antagonist vs ultrashort flare protocol. The patients in the 2 groups will be compared primarily for their no of oocytes retrieved, maturation rate, fertilization rate, total dosage of gonadotropin dosage used , total duration of stimulation . Secondary outcomes of FORT, FOI, implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate in the 2 groups will also be compared. |
