Background: Female age and basal FSH level are independently associated with IVF outcome. They are both related to the same phenomenon, namely ovarian reserve. Objective: To evaluate the effective role of serum FSH concentration at the start of treatment cycle on ART outcome. Materials and Methods: A total of 207 women undergoing IVF and ICSI cycles were included in this study. Basal FSH concen...

Objective(s): Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has been reported to improve pregnancy chances in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and to reduce miscarriage rates by 50–80%. This study, therefore, assesses effects of DHEA on number of retrieved oocytes and meiotic spindles.Materials and Methods: A randomized, prospective, controlled study was conducted on eight groups, four groups of you...

Androgen concentrations in follicular fluid samples collected from patients undergoing vitro fertilization (IVF) may provide useful clinical indicators. This study aimed to analyze possible associations of the androgen levels and blood plasma with diminished ovarian reserve (POR) IVF programs. Cross-sectional a parallel group design, conducted 2019–2021, enrolled 300 infertility, aged 18–42 yea...
