Figure 1 Modified natural cycle IVF. Entry ultrasound examination was performed on cycle day 1–5 and thereafter repeated ultrasound and oestradiol analysis commencing on cycle day 9 were performed until the leading follicle reached 17–19mm with oestradiol concentrations between 500 and 750pmol/l. Ovulation induction was given, as 5000IU of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). Oocyte retrieval (OR) was performed approximately 37h later. Embryos were transferred on day 2 following oocyte retrieval. No luteal phase support was given. CD=cycle day; ET=embryo transfer.

Figure 2 Mild IVF. Ovarian stimulation was performed with clomiphene citrate, 100mg daily cycle day 3–7. Ovulation induction with 5000IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) was given when the dominant follicle was ≥18mm. Oocyte retrieval (OR) was performed approximately 37h later. Embryos were transferred on day 2 following oocyte retrieval. No luteal phase support was given. CD=cycle day; ET=embryo transfer.
