      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Patients undergo pituitary desensitization with  Decapeptyl 0.1 mg/day (Decapeptyl®  0.1  mg,  Ferring,  Germany)starting in the mid luteal phase and  was  continued  until  the day of  the administration of HCG. Treatment with Gonal-F(Gonal-F, Serono, Aubnne, Switzerland) is started at the second day of menstruation .The ovarian response is monitored by vaginal sonography and the dose is adjusted accordingly triggering of final follicular maturation with r- HCG (Ovidrel)(interventional group) is performed in the evening. Oocyte is retrieved by follicular aspiration 34-36 hrs after r-hcG or U-hcG. Up to three embryos are replaced in the uterine cavity on day 3after ovum pick up. Luteal phase support is designed by 100mg  progesterone intra muscular  injection   per day. After 14 days of embryo transfer βHCG is checked and clinical pregnancy is documented by vaginal sonography at 3weeks after positive βHCG. Intervention 2: Patients undergo pituitary desensitization with  Decapeptyl 0.1 mg/day (Decapeptyl®  0.1  mg,  Ferring,  Germany)starting in the mid luteal phase and  was  continued  until  the day of  the administration of HCG. Treatment with Gonal-F (Gonal-F, Serono, Aubnne, Switzerland) is started at the second day of menstruation .The ovarian response is monitored by vaginal sonography and the dose is adjusted accordingly triggering of final follicular maturation with U- HCG (control group) (pregnyl,  ®  organon, oss,   Netherlands) is performed in the evening. Oocyte is retrieved by follicular aspiration 34-36 hrs after r-hcG or U-hcG. Up to three embryos are replaced in the uterine cavity on day 3after ovum pick up. Luteal phase support is designed by 100mg  progesterone intra muscular  injection   per day.

      <results_summary>Background: Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) has been used as a replacement for the mid-cycle luteinizing hormone (LH) surge for several years. The recent arrival of recombinant DNA technology has made recombinant HCG (rHCG) accessible.

Objective: To assess efficacy of rHCG compared to urinary HCG (uHCG) for triggering of ovulation and induction of final oocyte maturation in assisted reproductive cycles.

Materials and Methods: 200 patients who were candidate for ICSI were randomly divided in two groups. In group I (rHCG), patients received 250µg of rHCG for final oocyte maturation, and in group II (uHCG) the patients received 10000 IU of uHCG. Measured outcomes were number of retrieved oocyte and mature oocyte, maturation rate of oocyte, fertilization rate and clinical pregnancy rate.

Results: The rates of oocyte maturity were similar in both groups. Fertilization rate was similar in two groups (58.58% in rHCG group versus 60.58% in uHCG group p=0.666). The clinical pregnancy rate per cycle was similar in both group 34.0% in rHCG group versus 39% in uHCG group (p=0.310).

Conclusion: We demonstrated that rHCG is as effective as uHCG, when it is used for final oocyte maturation in ICSI cycles. The numbers of retrieved oocyte and maturation rates were similar in both groups; also fertilization and clinical pregnancy rates were similar.</results_summary>
