About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Observational Trial to Monitor the Incidence of Congenital Malformations in Infants of Women With an Ongoing Pregnancy After Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation Using Puregon® (recFSH)/Orgalutran® (Ganirelix) Followed by IVF/ICSI, or a Long Protocol With a GnRH Agonist as Historical Controls.

The primary purpose of this study is to collect data on the incidence of congenital malformations in infants of women with an ongoing pregnancy after controlled ovarian stimulation with recombinant follicle stimulating hormone /ganirelix followed by in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intra cytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI), and to compare this incidence with that of a group of women who used a long protocol with a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist as historical controls.
