General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The goal of the trial is to determine wheather co-treatment with aromatase inhibitor in ovarian stimulation in egg donors normalize the duartion of the unsupported luteal phase, reduce the endometrium thickness, positively modulate endocrine markers of luteal phase quality and endometrial markers of receptivity.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
Participants were withdrawn from the study if they suffered from serious adverse events or reactions during OS including severe allergy to study drug or withdraw consent. In case of severe degree of hot flushes, severe degree of nausea/vomiting, severe diarrhea or severe degree of muscle and joint pain the participant were also excluded.

Recruitment
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Recruitment details |
Egg donors were invited to participate in this study at their first visit in the Fertility clinic or at the day of starting up ovarian stimulation. Before inclusion the paticipant received verbal and written information about the study and signed a consent form. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Pre-assignment
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
Screening details |
The inclusion criteria included acceptance as an oocyte donor according to local criteria, age ≤35 years and regular ovulatory cycle of 26-32 days. Exclusion criteria were polycystic ovary syndrome, known allergy to letrozole or an intrauterine device (within the last three months from inclusion). | |||||||||||||||||||||
