Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of predicting ovarian response using the antral follicle count in in vitro fertilization(IVF) cycle. Methods 54 patients in our infertility treatment center were observed, in which 6 patients had poor ovarian response and the other 48 patients had good ovarian response. The clinical data, duration and efficacy of treatment were compared between the two groups. Results The mean number of antral follicles and retrieved oocytes in the third day of menstruation in good ovarian response group was significantly higher than that in poor ovarian response group. The clinical pregnancy rate of the good ovarian response group was better than that of the poor one. Conclusions Monitoring the antral follicle count in both ovaries using vaginal ultrasound may predict ovarian response in IVF in the third day of menstruation.
