The control group did not receive any ovarian stimulation drugs (natural cycle). In cases group, ovulation induction programs were used were stimulated by Clomid + gonadotropin. The ovarian stimulation protocol was chosen for each patient according to her age, history of stimulation treatment in previous cycles if present, hormonal assay and ultrasound finding in the early follicular phase.
