Study summary
The purpose of this prospective single-center study is to evaluate the laboratory outcome after random start ovarian stimulation in oocyte donors. The study will be performed in egg-donors but this type of treatment has the potential to be implemented in general infertility population.
The study group will start ovarian stimulation randomly in different moments throughout the menstrual cycle. Randomization will take place on day 2-3 of the menstrual cycle, according to a list of random allocation of treatments and egg-donors will be assigned to random start ovarian stimulation: During follicular phase starting at day 5,7,9,11 or 13 of the menstrual cycle and during luteal phase starting at luteinizing hormone (LH) peak +3,+5,+7,+9 or +11. Egg-donors will receive urinary follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) 150-225 IU/d in gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol with cetrorelix acetate 0,25 mg/d starting five days after ovarian stimulation and a GnRH agonist trigger with triptorelin 0,2 mg to induce the final follicular maturation. Transvaginal ultrasound and serum analysis (estradiol, progesterone, LH and FSH) will be included for cycle monitoring.

Outcomes
Percentage of Mature Eggs
Time frame · Up to 24 hours from the oocyte collection
When collected, eggs retain numerous cells (granulosa or cumulus cells) surrounding the oocyte; this structure is termed as the cumulus oocyte complex (COC). Few hours later (2-4 hs), the oocyte is denuded from these cumulus cells, allowing for a clearer observation of the maturity status (presence or absence of a metaphase II) of the oocyte. The percentage of mature eggs represents the proportion resulting from dividing the total number of COCs collected by the number of metaphase II oocytes and multiplied by 100.
Fertilization Rate
Time frame · 24 hours after day of oocyte collection
