      <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 360 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 patients in the ovulation induction group with recombinant FSH (r-FSH) will receive 50 IU of r-FSH daily from the third day of the menstrual cycle for 7 days, and a monitoring ultrasound will be performed to determine the ovarian response on the 10th day of the menstrual cycle. If follicles larger than 10 mm are observed, the drug will be continued to achieve 18-mm follicles, but if follicles larger than 10 mm are not observed for 7 days, patients will receive 75 IU of r-FSH per day, and on the 17th day of the menstrual cycle, a monitoring ultrasound will be conducted to determine the ovarian response. At this time, if follicles larger than 10 mm are observed, the drug will be continued to achieve 18-mm follicles, but if follicles larger than 10 mm are not observed for 7 days, patients will receive 100 IU of r-FSH per day, and on the 24th day of the menstrual cycle, a monitoring ultrasound will be conducted to determine the ovarian response. At this time, if no follicles larger than 10 mm are observed, the ovulation induction cycle will be canceled. Intervention 2: Control group: The patients in the ovulation induction group with clomiphene citrate (CC) will receive 50 mg of CC daily from the third day of menstrual cycle for 5 days, and a monitoring ultrasound will be performed to determine the ovarian response on the 10th day of the menstrual cycle. If follicles larger than 10 mm are observed, the drug will be continued to achieve 18-mm follicles, but if follicles larger than 10 mm are not observed for 5 days, patients will receive 100 mg of CC per day, and on the 17th day of the menstrual cycle, a monitoring ultrasound will be conducted to determine the ovarian response. At this time, if follicles larger than 10 mm are observed, the drug will be continued to achieve 18-mm follicles, but if follicles larger than 10 mm are not observed for 5 days, patients will receive 150 mg of CC per day, and on the 24th day of the menstrual cycle, a monitoring ultrasound will be conducted to determine the ovarian response. At this time, if no follicles larger than 10 mm are observed, the ovulation induction cycle will be canceled. Intervention 3: Control group: The patients in the ovulation induction group with letrozole will receive 2.5 mg of letrozole daily from the third day of the menstrual cycle for 5 days, and a monitoring ultrasound will be performed to determine the ovarian response on the 10th day of the menstrual cycle. If follicles larger than 10 mm are observed, the drug will be continued to achieve 18-mm follicles, but if follicles larger than 10 mm are not observed for 5 days, patients will receive 5 mg of letrozole per day, and on the 17th day of the menstrual cycle, a monitoring ultrasound will be conducted to determine the ovarian response. At this time, if follicles larger than 10 mm are observed, the drug will be continued to achieve 18-mm follicles, but if follicles larger than 10 mm are not observed for 5 days, patients will receive 7.5 mg of letrozole per day, and on the 24th day of the menstrual cycle, a monitoring ultrasound will be conducted to determine the ovarian response. At this time, if no follicles larger than 10 mm are observed, the ovulation induction cycle will be canceled.</i_freetext>
