Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the role of GDF-8 in regulating progesterone levels during controlled ovarian stimulation in patients undergoing ICSI-ET and to evaluate its effects on pregnancy rates
The main questions are
Does serum GDF-8 correlate with serum Progesterone levels during ovarian stimulation Does serum GDF-8 serum level at different time-points during ovarian stimulation correlate with pregnancy rate
participants will undergo ICSI-ET cycle using the long GnRH-agonist protocol and serum levels of GDF-8 and progesterone will be measured at three time-points during the trial on day of hCG trigger administration on day of oocyte pickup and 14 days after embryo transfer
