Primary Outcome Measures :
- Proportion of subjects with treatment-induced anti-FSH antibodies after up to two repeated controlled ovarian stimulation cycles [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days after end of the last stimulation period ]
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Proportion of subjects with treatment-induced anti-FSH antibodies with neutralising capacity after up to two repeated controlled ovarian stimulation cycles [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days after end of the last stimulation period ]
- Proportion of subjects with treatment-induced anti-FSH antibodies, overall as well as with neutralising capacity, after one and after two repeated controlled ovarian stimulation cycles [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days after end of the last stimulation period ]
- Proportion of subject with cycle cancellation due to poor ovarian response or excessive ovarian response for each controlled ovarian stimulation cycle [ Time Frame: Up to 20 stimulation days ]
- Vital pregnancy rate for each controlled ovarian stimulation cycle [ Time Frame: 5-6 weeks after blastocyst transfer ]
- Implantation rate for each controlled ovarian stimulation cycle [ Time Frame: 5-6 weeks after blastocyst transfer ]
- Ongoing pregnancy rate for each controlled ovarian stimulation cycle [ Time Frame: 10-11 weeks after blastocyst transfer ]
- Ongoing implantation rate for each controlled ovarian stimulation cycle [ Time Frame: 10-11 weeks after blastocyst transfer ]
- Frequency of injection site reactions (redness, pain, itching, swelling and bruising) assessed by the subject during the stimulation period for each controlled ovarian stimulation cycle [ Time Frame: Up to 20 stimulation days ]
- Proportion of subjects with late OHSS (including OHSS of moderate/severe grade) for each controlled ovarian stimulation cycle [ Time Frame: >9 days after triggering of final follicular maturation ]
- Technical malfunctions of the administration pen for each controlled ovarian stimulation cycle [ Time Frame: Up to 20 stimulation days ]

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Informed Consent Documents signed prior to screening evaluations related to this protocol
- Participation in the pivotal efficacy trial (trial 000004/ESTHER-1)
- Anti-FSH antibody results from baseline and at least one post-dosing assessment in the previous cycle(s) available.
- Having undergone the oocyte retrieval procedure, or having had cycle cancellation prior to oocyte retrieval due to poor ovarian response or excessive ovarian response, in the previous cycle(s).
- Failure to achieve ongoing pregnancy in the previous cycle(s).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Non-compliance to protocol compliance in the previous cycle(s).
- Having undergone any stimulation with gonadotropins since the end-of-trial / end-of-cycle visit in the previous cycle
- One or more follicles ≥10 mm observed on the transvaginal ultrasound prior to start of dosing on stimulation day 1
- Severe OHSS in a previous cycle.
- Any clinically relevant change to any of the eligibility criteria in the previous cycle(s).
- Clinically relevant medical history since the previous cycle which precludes gonadotropin stimulation or is associated with a reduced chance of pregnancy.
