Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants Who Met Both Index 1 and Index 2
Day 14

The three indices were defined as; Index 1: diameter of at least one follicle is greater than 17 mm; Index 2: serum oestradiol (E2) level in blood serum above 109 picogram/ milliliter (pg/mL) on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection day; Index 3: participant refuses to take hCG injection for the concern of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) or participant is pregnant. A subset of these participants met Index 3.
