Abstract
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study is to evaluate the value of basal follicular stimulating hormone level on clinical outcome in women undergoing IVF-ET. METHOD: A descriptive and retrospective study of 730 cycles of IVF-ET chosen from 2002 to 2004 in CHA fertility center.
RESULTS
Basal FSH screening appeared to be a fairly informative predictor of achiving pregnancy especially in GnRH agonist long protocol in women undergoing IVF-ET. In addition, basal FSH level shows significant difference compared ongoing pregnancy with early abortion group in GnRH antagonist group.
CONCLUSION
Therefore, we were able to predict the ovarian response and IVF-ET outcome using FSH level. Furthermore, this information allow more precise counseling for patients.
