      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: In group I, 0.05mg subcutaneous Buserelin (suprefact, serono) was injected two times per day from the day 1 of cycle and HMG (Menogon, Ferring) 300 IU per day intramuscular from day 3 of cycle. Follicular monitoring was started from day 9 of cycle by serial vaginal ultrasonography and then gonadotropin doses adjustment was done as required. hCG (pregnyl; NV organon, oss, Netherlands) 10000 IU was injectod Intramuscular when at least 2 follicles ≥ 18mm were noted on ultrasonography. Oocyte retrieval was scheduled 36 hours after hCG injection and conventional IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was performed. Embryo transfer was done 48-72 hours after oocyte retrieval. The luteal phase support was initiated from the day of oocyte retrieval with 100 mg Progesterone in oil (Progesterone, Abureihan co., Tehran, Iran) per day. Intervention 2: In group II, ovulation induction was performed with Buserelin (suprefact, serono) 0.5mg SC per day started on day 1 of cycle and continued for 3 consecutive days . HMG (menogon, ferring) 300 IU per day was started on day 3 of cycle. GnRH antagonist (cetrorelix, serono laboratories, Aubonne, Switzerland) 0.25mg sc per day was started when the follicle’s size reach to 14mm. Follicular monitoring started from day 9 of cycle and hCG (pregnyle, NV orgaron, oss, Nether lands) 10000 IU was injected if at least 2 follicles ≥ 17-18mm were noted on ultrasonography and Oocyte retrieval was scheduled 36 hours after hCG injection. Other steps was done like group I. In both groups, Serum B-hCG was measured after 14 days of embryo transfer. If B-hCG was Possitive, the clinical pregnancy was confirmed by observation of the fetal heart activity using a transvaginal ultrasonography 4-5 weeks after oocyte retrieval. And thenو the two groups were compared in number of follicles, serum estradiol levels, endometrial thickness, Number and quality of oocytes, number and quality embryo, implantation rate and clinical and chemistry pregnancy rate.</i_freetext>
