      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: All volunteers with inclusion criteria are asked to participate in the current study if agreed; an informed consent form is signed. She is randomly assigned to one of two groups based in Bernoulli distribution.  Initially, patients and physicians were blinded to the treatment group.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: First group, Minidose Agonist, receives GnRH Agonist (Bucerelin, Aventis, Germany) 50 μg subcutaneously from midluteal cycle (21th day). Ovarian stimulation is conducted by using Gonal F (Serono, Switzerland) 375-600IU daily, for one week. Then Gonal F is replaced by HMG (Ferring, Germany, 300-600IU daily) until the observation of 18mm follicles in transvaginal ultrasound. For visualizing follicular development, trans vaginal ultrasound (Sonoline G20; Siemens Medical Solutions, California, USA) is performed every 3 days. After the observation of at least two 18mm follicles, HCG (Ferring Co, Germany, 10000IU and IM) is injected and after 36 hours oocyte retrieve is performed under general anesthesia. Three days after fertilization technique,  performed through intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), trans cervical embryo transfer will be carried out. Detection of pregnancy is through serum BhCG analysis, 16 days after embryonic transfer and the clinical pregnancy is detected by the aid of trans vaginal ultrasound, two weeks later when the pregnancy sac is detected. Main outcome is the number of oocytes retrieved. The number of dominant follicles, embryos; quality of embryos; the rate of fertilization, chemical and clinical pregnancy are compared between two groups. Intervention 2: Second group receives Decapeptyle 0.1mg (Ferring, Germany) in 3 consecutive days from the first day of menses. In the third day of menses ovarian stimulation is conducted by using Gonal F (Serono, Switzerland) and HMG (Ferring, Germany) 375-600IU daily. When the  14mm follicles is observed  in transvaginal ultrasound GnRH antagonist (Cetrorelix, Ferring, Germany) 0.25mg daily is added.  For visualizing follicular development, trans vaginal ultrasound (Sonoline G20; Siemens Medical Solutions, California, USA) is performed every 3 days. After the observation of at least two 18mm follicles, HCG (Ferring Co, Germany, 10000IU and IM) is injected and after 36 hours oocyte retrieve is performed under general anesthesia. Three days after fertilization, technique performed through intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), trans cervical embryo transfer will be carried out. Detection of pregnancy is through serum BhCG analysis, 16 days after embryonal transfer and the clinical pregnancy is detected by the aid of trans vaginal ultrasound, two weeks later when the pregnancy sac is detected. Main outcome is the number of oocytes retrieved. The number of dominant follicles, embryos; quality of embryos; the rate of fertilization, chemical and clinical pregnancy, cancellation are compared between two groups.</i_freetext>
