FSH Requirements for Follicle Growth During Controlled Ovarian Stimulation

In this study, we aim to evaluate FSH requirements for follicular growth during controlled ovarian stimulation. Method: Single centre retrospective cohort study of 1,034 IVF cycles conducted between January 2012-January 2016 at Hammersmith Hospital IVF unit, London, UK. Median follicle size after five days of stimulation with rFSH and the proportion of antral follicles recruited were analysed in women treated with rFSH alone to induce follicular growth during IVF treatment. Results: Starting rFSH dose adjusted for body weight (iU/kg) predicted serum FSH level after 5 days of rFSH (r2=0.352, p
