      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Block randomization method is designed by epidemiologist using STATA software version 13 and the number of blocks considered is 6. The random allocation list for patients is solely available to the epidemiologist. In order to hide the random allocation process, a total of 212 envelopes are prepared, and only the methodologist has been aware of table of random numbers. When the doctor declared the patient's eligibility, the methodologist provided the doctor with the envelope. The group will be selected and based on the type of group mentioned in the envelope.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The group of endometrial preparation with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist. In this group, the endometrium of patients for embryo transfer will be prepared through the standard protocol using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist. This group has pituitary suppression prior to steroid hormone administration. Pituitary suppression in patients will be performed using 500 micro-gram suprefact (Buserelin, Sanofi Aventis, Germany) injection per day subcutaneously from day 17 of the menstrual and continued it for 14 days. Then, the dose of suprefact was reduced to 200 micro-gram per day, and the endometrium will be prepared through daily administration of 6 mg of estradiol valerate tablets (Abouryhan Pharmacy Company, Tehran, Iran) for 12 days. When endometrial thickness reached 8 mm or more, 50 mg intramuscular progesterone (Abouryhan Pharmacy Company, Tehran, Iran) daily will be commenced, and suprefact will be stopped. Embryo transfer will be performed at 48±3 hours after progesterone injection for two day embryos and 72±3 hours after progesterone injection for three day embryos. Intervention 2: Control group: The group of endometrial preparation without gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist. In this group, the endometrium of patients for embryo transfer will be prepared through the standard protocol using steroid hormone administration without gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist. This group begins steroid supplementation without prior pituitary desensitization. The endometrium will be prepared through daily administration of 6 mg of estradiol valerate tablets (Abouryhan Pharmacy Company, Tehran, Iran) for 12 days. When endometrial thickness reached 8 mm or more, 50 mg intramuscular progesterone (Abouryhan Pharmacy Company, Tehran, Iran) daily will be commenced. Embryo transfer will be performed at 48±3 hours after progesterone injection for two day embryos and 72±3 hours after progesterone injection for three day embryos.</i_freetext>
