Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Metaphase 2 oocyte number [ Time Frame: 6months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • clinical pregnancy rate [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: 1
Single lumen needle use in oocyte retrieval
 Device: single lumen needle oocyte retrieval
single lumen needle use during oocyte retrieval
Active Comparator: 2
Double lumen needle with follicle flushing during oocyte retrieval
 Device: double lumen needle oocyte retrieval
double lumen needle with 1 time follicle flushing with at least 2 ml during oocyte retrieval

Detailed Description:

In total 300 patients will be randomized for the effectiveness of single or double lumen needle during oocyte retrieval. Double lumen needles give an opportunity of washing to the follicle with flush. Single lumen needles seem to be faster and no need for flushing. We aim to compare to the differences of the use of both needles.
