Failure to respond adequately to standard protocols and to recruit adequate follicles is called 'poor response'. This results in decreased oocyte production, cycle cancellation and, overall, is associated with a significantly diminished probability of pregnancy. It has been shown that ovarian reserve tests, such as basal FSH, antimullarian hormone (AMH), inhibin B, basal estradiol, antral folli...

objective: the aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of ovarian reserve tests, mainly basal and clomiphene stimulated follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) concentrations. materials and methods : a prospective cohort study was conductedon 120 infertile patients referring to mirza koochak khan hospital for ivffrom 2004 to 2006. all the patients underwent clomiphene citrate challenge test (cc...

BACKGROUND Phthalates, a class of endocrine disruptors, have been demonstrated to accelerate loss of ovarian follicle pool via disrupting folliculogenesis, and lead to diminished ovarian reserve. However, human data are limited. Here, we aimed to examine whether urinary phthalate metabolites are correlated with markers of ovarian reserve among women attending a fertility clinic. METHODS We me...

Background: Ovarian reserve and ovarian response both are of the most important key factors in infertility treatment. Anti mullerian hormone (AMH) is one of lab tests that can predict ovarian reserve. relation between this assay and ovarian response can guide physition to choose the best protocol for the worst reserve. Materials and Methods: In a prospective cohort study, 110 infertile women (2...

currently, laparoscopic cystectomy is the first-line therapy for ovarian benign cysts that are resistant to current therapies. there are different studies that point to ovarian reserve damage due to laparoscopic cystectomy. in this study, we evaluate the ovarian damage following laparoscopic cystectomy for non-endometriosis cysts using ultrasound and pathology findings. this is a prospective co...

PATIENT(S) Five hundred and two infertile women. INTERVENTION(S) None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Levels of menarcheal age, antimüllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and functional ovarian r...
