Sample Size A sample size of 80 women (40 women per treatment group) has been chosen. This calculation was based on a standard deviation of 3.0 in each treatment group, a significance level of 0.05 (2-tailed test), a mean difference of 2.0 follicles and a power of 80%. The standard deviation used in the power calculation was based on similar studies performed in domestic animal species. Approximately 120 IVF/ICSI cycles are performed each year in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan and approximately 600 cycles are performed at the Genesis Fertility Centre. Approximately 5-10% of patients are proven poor responders. Thus, with an anticipated 75% recruitment rate, we expect to recruit 80 patients in the study over a 24 month period. It is expected that 25% of research subjects will be enrolled at the ARTUS Centre and 75% of subjects will be enrolled at the Genesis Fertility Centre.
