Antral Follicle Count as Predictor of Ovarian Reserve
نویسنده
چکیده
Infertility is the inability to conceive following 1 year of unprotected intercourse in cases where the female is ≤35 years of age or following 6 months of unprotected intercourse for women >35 years of age. The female factor infertility is found in 40% of cases, the male in 20% of cases and the both male and female factors in 20% of cases. Female factors can further be divided into tubal (40%), ovulatory (40%), uterine (10%) and cervical (10%). The spontaneous conception rate for the “normal” couple has been found to be 25% per ovulatory cycle.

The meaning of anti-Müllerian hormone levels in patients at a high risk of poor ovarian response
Measurements of ovarian reserve play an important role in predicting the clinical results of assisted reproductive technology (ART). The ideal markers of ovarian reserve for clinical applications should have high specificity in order to determine genuine poor responders. Basal follicle-stimulating hormone levels, antral follicle count, and serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels have been sug...

متن کاملEvaluation of the utility of multiple endocrine and ultrasound measures of ovarian reserve in the prediction of cycle cancellation in a high-risk IVF population.
BACKGROUND Unexpectedly poor response leading to IVF cycle cancellation is a distressing treatment outcome. We have prospectively assessed several markers of ovarian reserve in a high risk IVF population to determine their utility in predicting IVF cycle cancellation. METHODS Eighty-four women at high risk of cycle cancellation due to raised FSH, previous poor response and/or age > or =40 yea...

متن کاملAntral Follicle Count
The number of antral follicles (a stage of folliculogenesis) determinates the quantity of oocytes potentially available for ovulation. It is one of the characteristics used to specify so called ovarian reserve which represents important factor to predict the result of IVF cycle, among other things. AFC can be set by usage of transvaginal ultrasonography (a sonography that applies an ultrasound ...
