Estradiol valerate
Women will be given estradiol valerate 4 mg daily from day 2 to day 12 of the cycle then the endometrial thickness will be assessed on day 13 by transvaginal sonography (TVS). If the endometrium is ≥ 8 mm and of moderate echogenicity, luteal phase support (using progesterone supplements) will be started but if the endometrium is \< 8 mm, estradiol valerate will be continued until reaching appropriate endometrial thickness and echogenicity then the luteal phase support will be started.
Sequential Clomiphene citrate and Gonadotropin
Women will be given clomiphene citrate in dose of 100-150 mg daily for 5 days (from day 2 to day 6 of the cycle) then switched to low dose gonadotropin (75-150 IU daily) followed by monitoring of the follicular growth (folliculometry) ); starting from day 10 of the stimulation cycle and repeated every 2 days. Final oocyte maturation will be induced by administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) when there will be at least one leading follicle \> 18 mm in diameter followed by luteal phase support (using progesterone supplements) after 48 hours.
