Study type | Observational |
Natural cycles are evaluated during fertility treatments for different therapeutic options, like insemination (IUI), time intercourse (TI) or frozen-thawed embryo transfers (FET). Two possible protocols can be used for natural cycles, with or without hCG trigger. Usually, studies including natural cycles consider both options as equivalent, not considering the possible bias that the exogenous hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) might have. In this prospective study, Investigators aim to evaluate the differences in the hormonal profile during the ovulation when it occurs spontaneously vs triggered with a bolus of hCG.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Difference in hormone levels | Small sample data will be analyzed with the use of non-parametric test like Wilcoxon test to a paired a test of difference in hormones levels of the patients represented in both cycles (PNC and MNC) (dependent samples). This test will be preferred due to non-independent interval or ratio data in addition not to meet the normality or homogeneity of variances assumptions as paired t-test.
Hormonal pattern over the days (measured for some days during cycle 1 and cycle 2) will be analyzed using trend analysis (line fit). |
35 days | |
Secondary | Number of visits in luteal phase | Number of visits will be analyzed. The differences will be analyzed across PNC and MNC with CI. Fisher's exact test. | 17 days | |
Secondary | Luteal phase length | Luteal phase length will be analyzed. The differences will be analyzed across PNC and MNC with CI. Fisher's exact test. | 17 days |
