Diagnostic value of hormones concentracion in blood and follicular fluid during ovarian stimulation in IVF cycles

Abstract

We present data on concentrations of serum and follicular fluid hormones in IVF cycles in relation to the number of punctured follicles. Circulating periovulatory estradiol levels correlated positively with the number of punctured follicles. We observed significant decrease in circulating AMH concentrations in periovulatory period compared to baseline levels. Estradiol and progesterone concentrations in follicular fluid did not correlate with the number of follicles or serum levels of these hormones. AMH and inhibin B in follicular fluid were higher in patients with greater number of punctured follicles.
