Patient having both ovaries and a normal uterine cavity confirmed by hysteroscopy, or hysterosalpingography. 6. All patients had to be infertile due to at least one of the following causes and must have justified ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) treatment: tubal factor, mild endometriosis (American Fertility Society classification stage I orII), unexplained infertility, or male factor 7. Patients achieving good ovarian response and considered to receive hCG for final follicular maturation prior to OPU. 8. Written and signed informed consent by the patient. 9. Subject does not have allergy to the drugs under investigation. 10. Medical demographics without evidence of clinically significant deviation from rather normal medical condition. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with low ovarian reserve, as proved by hormonal assays and basal antral follicular count. 2. More than three previous assisted reproductive technology cycle or treatment with clomiphene citrate or gonadotropins for at least 1 month before screening, 3. Patients with pelvic abnormality that would interfere with ovarian accessibility for OPU, e.g. ovarian endometriotic cysts or high and retro-uterine ovary. 4. Patients not achieving a satisfactory ovarian response on ovulation induction, whether poor response (3 or less mature ovarian follicles) or over-response with high likelihood of developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) on triggering with HCG. 5. History of hypersensitivity to the study medications or to drugs with similar chemical structure. 6. Patients unlikely to comply with the protocol, e.g. uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up visits, and likelihood of not completing the study. 7.
