Interventions

DRUG

Letrozole

Patients start ovarian stimulation protocol according to their menstrual cycle phase at enrollment (standard or "random start"). Ovarian stimulation includes gonadotropins administration in a GnRH antagonist protocol Standard Protocol: letrozole is orally administered 2 tablets per day (2,5mgx2/d) from cycle day 2 throughout the ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins protocol until ovulation triggering. GnRH antagonist is administered as soon as at least one follicle reaches 14 mm. "Random start" protocol: letrozole is administered throughout the stimulation together with gonadotropins and GnRH antagonist, until ovulation triggering. Oocytes are collected 36h after ovulation triggering. All patients receive GnRH antagonist after oocyte retrieval for 3-7 days or until chemotherapy starts, to induce luteolysis.
