Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Total number of oocytes retrieved
At approximately 36 to 38 hours after r-hCG administration (Day 4)

Mean number of oocytes retrieved will be calculated. Oocyte retrieval was a technique used in in-vitro fertilization in order to remove oocytes from the ovary of the female, enabling fertilization outside the body.

Secondary Endpoints

Total dose of gonadotropin (IU) used
At Visit 3 after ovarian stimulation from Day 5 until Day of r-hCG (maximum 18 days)
Number of Days of Gonadotropin Treatment
At Visit 3 after ovarian stimulation from Day 5-18
Total Number of Follicles Measuring greater than or equal to 14 millimeter (mm) and greater than or equal to 17 mm in diameter
During Ovarian stimulation (Day 5 to Day 18)
