Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The ovulation rate defined as the percentage of subjects who present ovulation [ Time Frame: From 6 days up to 7 weeks post hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) administration ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The positive serum progesterone rate [ Time Frame: 6~9 days post hCG administration ]
  2. The positive serum β-hCG/hCG rate [ Time Frame: 18~22 days post hCG administration ]
  3. The clinical pregnancy rate [ Time Frame: 6~7 weeks post hCG administration ]
    Regardless of fetal heart beat

  4. The clinical pregnancy rate [ Time Frame: 6~7 weeks post hCG administration ]
    With fetal heart beat

  5. The ongoing pregnancy rate [ Time Frame: 11~12 weeks post hCG administration ]
  6. The follicular development [ Time Frame: On the day of hCG administration ]
  7. Endometrial thickness [ Time Frame: On the day of hCG administration ]
  8. Total FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone) dose administered [ Time Frame: On the day of hCG administration ]
  9. Number of FSH treatment days [ Time Frame: On the day of hCG administration ]
  10. Frequency and severity of adverse events [ Time Frame: Expected maximum of 6 months ]
  11. Frequency and severity of injection site reactions [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Day 28 of the ovarian stimulation period ]
  12. Serum estradiol (E2) levels [ Time Frame: On the day of hCG administration ]
