Abstract This study assessed the ovarian stimulation characteristics of recombinant follitropin α filled by mass (rFSH-fbm) versus recombinant follitropin α filled by conventional bioassay (rFSH-bio) in the same egg donor patients. Eleven egg donors, who had two ovarian stimulation cycles for oocyte...
