Blood samples taken on the second and twelfth days of the IVF cycle.Results: There were significant differences in the value of estradiol, fibrin formation time (α), and coagulation index (CI) (p< 0.05). Correlation tests showed no relationship and no significant correlation between an increased level of estradiol and coagulation index (CI) (rs=0.054; p=0.827) and between an increased level of estradiol and fibrinolysis time (LY30) (rs=− 0.151; p=0.536). A moderate significant relationship was observed between age and coagulation index (CI) (rs=− 0.430; p=0.033) and between age and maximum amplitude (MA) (rs=− 0.494; p=0.032).Conclusion: Supraphysiological estradiol levels in controlled ovarian stimulation cycles affect the coagulation index and change mainly the fibrin formation time.Keywords: estradiol, hemostasis, thromboelastography, controlled ovarian cycles
