      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: In control group ovarian stimulation will be done by using 225 IU Follicle_Stimulating Hormone(Gonal-F,MERC, italy) and 150 IU human Menopausal Gonadotropine(Pergonal, Serono, Swithszerland) started at third day of mensturation. Serial transvaginal sonography and serum estradiol measuement are done to assess ovarian response and adjust gonadotropin dose per patient. Certolix(Certotide, Serono, swithszerland) 0.25 miligrams daily subcutaneously will be added when at least there is a 14 mm follicle. When at least two 17 mm follicles are developed 10000 IU human Chrionic Gonadotropin(Pregnyl, Organon, Netherland) is injected trasmuscularly. Oovocytes are punctured 35 to 36 hours later and then fertilization will ocurred via invitro Fertillization or IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection and then embrios of best quality will be transferred into uterine on third day of their developement. Finally pregnancy outcome will be compared between two groups. Intervention 2: In intervention group ovarian stimulation will be done by using 225 IU Follicle_Stimulating Hormone(Gonal-F, MERC, italy) and 150 IU human Menopausal Gonadotropine(Pergonal, Serono, Swithszerland) started at third day of mensturation. In this group Letrozole 2.5 mg/d(Letrozole, AbuReyhan, Iran) is added from menstural days 3rd to 7th too. Serial transvaginal sonography and serum estradiol measuement are done to assess ovarian response and adjust gonadotropin dose per patient.certolix(Certotide, Serono, swithszerland) 0.25 miligrams daily subcutaneously will be added when at least there is a 14 mm follicle.

      <inclusion_criteria>Inclusion Criteria: Infertile female who are reffered to InVitro Fertillization Department of Jaame_Zanan Hospital candidates for InVitro fertillization or IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection; females aged over 30 years old; females diagnosed as poor ovarian responders. Females should have at least one of listing criterias to be classified as poor responders: previous cancled cycle due to poor ovarian response in an InVitro fertillization or IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection cycle (defined as having 3 or less oovocytes retrieved or serum estradiol less than 500 pg/ml), serum Follicle_Stimulating Hormone over 10 U/ml and age above 40 years old. Exclusion criterias are: Infertile females having all inclusion criterias but do not wish to be included in the project; females who show letrozole hypersensivity reactions or serious intolerable side effects of letrozole; females over 50 years old; having endocrine disorders such as thyroid dysfunction, hyperprolactinemia or diabetes;previous ovarian surgery; having a follicle larger than 10 mm at third day of menstural cycle; history of OHSS in previous ART cycle; uncorrected Mullerian anomaly; active renal or hepatic diseases.</inclusion_criteria>
