Treatments will be placed in sealed envelopes and will be kept by the out-of-study nurse.
After identification of the eligibility of the patient, the procedure will be explained to her and informed consent will be obtained, Blinding description: Completion of the final information is up to the person who is unaware of the type of treatment and also the specialist will be blind.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Early antagonist protocol: Recombinant FSH (150-225 IU) and GnRH Antagonist (Cetrotid 0.25 mg) will be started simultaneously on the second day of the cycle. Final oocyte maturation will be triggered with 5000 units of HCG when at least one 18-mm and two 16-mm follicles were detected on ultrasound. The ovarian puncture will be performed 36 hours after HCG injection. One or two embryos will be transferred three days after the ovarian puncture. The luteal phase support will be performed by the use of 100 mg of Progesterone. Intervention 2: Control group: Conventional antagonist protocol: Recombinant FSH (150-225 IU) will be started on day 2 of the cycle and the Antagonist (Cetrotid 0.25 mg) will be injected when follicle size reaches to 13-14 mmHg. Final oocyte maturation will be triggered with 5000 units of HCG when at least one 18-mm and two 16-mm follicles were detected on ultrasound. The ovarian puncture will be performed 36 hours after HCG injection. One or two embryos will be transferred three days after the ovarian puncture. The luteal phase support will be performed by the use of 100 mg of Progesterone.</i_freetext>
