PURPOSE To compare serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels on the seventh day of ovarian stimulation between normal and poor responders. METHODS Nineteen women aged ≥35, presenting with regular menses, submitted to ovarian stimulation for assisted reproduction were included. Women with endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome or those who were previously submitted to ovarian surgery were ...

For these poor responders, th...

BACKGROUND Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is known to play a role in ovarian follicular development augmenting the action of FSH. Low intrafollicular concentrations have been detected in women who respond poorly to gonadotrophins. This study addresses the relationship between serum IGF-1 levels following pituitary desensitization and ovarian response to gonadotrophin stimulation. METHOD...

background: evaluation of anti-mullerian hormone (amh) cut-off levels in assisted reproductive technology (art) as predictive factor for individualization of stimulation protocols and to avoid ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss). materials and methods: in a retrospective study, 177 infertile patients were assessed for amh in serum and follicular fluid (ff) on the day of follicular puncture...

Background It is important to evaluate ovarian reserves prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) as a marker for ovarian reserve and to compare it with day-3 serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels. MaterialsAndMethods In this analytic, corss-sectional study, sequential sampling was don...

OBJECTIVE To compare the IVF outcomes of mild ovarian stimulation with conventional ovarian stimulation in poor responders. METHODS From 2004 to 2009, 389 IVF cycles in 285 women showed poor responses (defined as either a basal FSH level ≥12 mIU/mL, or the number of retrieved oocytes ≤3, or serum E(2) level on hCG day <500 pg/mL) were analyzed, retrospectively. In total, 119 cycles with mild ...

BACKGROUND Microdose flare-up GnRH agonist and GnRH antagonist have become more popular in the management of poor ovarian responders (POR) in recent years; however, the optimal protocol for POR patients undergoing in vitro fertilization has still been a challenge. METHODS In this observational study design, two hundred forty four poor ovarian responders were retrospectively evaluated for thei...
