This randomized controlled trial has been designed for carrying out a comparison of new AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)-based individualized treatment (using a nomogram) with the wide accepted age-based strategy. The main objective of the trial is to assess whether an individualized FSH starting dose can increase the rate of women with an adequate ovarian response in terms of retrieved oocytes (optimal number of retrieved oocytes: 8-14).
Before clinicians can adopt any model into routine clinical practice, the accuracy of the model should be independently evaluated in a population different from the one on which the model was elaborated. External validation of the model is therefore crucial to assess the generalizability to other populations.
In the present RCT the new AMH-based individualized treatment will be compared to the wide accepted age-based strategy.
Primary endpoint:
The percentage of women with an appropriate number (n=8-14) of retrieved oocytes in IVF/ICSI cycle.

| Group A: "age" | Active Comparator | Group A: long standard protocol (buserelin 0.1 ml s.c. twice per day from the 21st day of the cycle, until the end of gonadotropin administration) + 150 IU of rFSH (starting dose) if female age was ≤35 years or 225 IU of rFSH if female age was ≥ 36 years. |

| Group B: "nomogram" | Experimental | Group B: long standard protocol (buserelin 0.1 ml s.c. twice per day from the 21st day of the cycle until the end of gonadotropin administration) + individualized starting dose of rFSH on the basis of the nomogram. |
