Relevance of basal serum FSH to IVF outcome varies with patient age

Abstract Live birth rate (LBR), age and basal serum FSH values were analysed in 1589 women undergoing their first cycle of IVF. Four age groups (39 years have an additional reduction in probability of live birth (OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.61–0.92). Analysis by age and FSH categories showed that pregnancy...

Summary:Abstract Live birth rate (LBR), age and basal serum FSH values were analysed in 1589 women undergoing their first cycle of IVF. Four age groups (39 years have an additional reduction in probability of live birth (OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.61–0.92). Analysis by age and FSH categories showed that pregnancy rate (PR) did not change significantly with rising FSH for women
