Re: GYN: Ovarian Reserve From: Romana Dmitrovic (romana.dmitrovic@zg.htnet.hr) Wed May 5 16:33:57 2004 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Gail Waldby: "BBC: "Brain Cooling Cuts risk to oxygen deprived babies"" Previous message: Efrain Ramirez: "Re: OB: AFP/multiple marker dating" In reply to: Garry E. Siegel, M.D.: "GYN: Ovarian Reserve" If FSH is high (but really high, over 25) I use estradiol levels on day 3 in order to assess the need for HRT. In PCOS patient, estradiol levels are helpful in assesing the quality of the oocyte. If the patient is infertile, more than 10 means bad prognosis in IVF cycle compared to less than 10. If higher than 20, fertilization rate is around 60% and live birth delivery very low. I hope that this answers your question, Romana At Tue, 4 May 2004, Garry E.
