  2. Antral follicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antral_follicle

    There are three categories when performing an ultrasound to cheek the antral follicle count: Low follicle count (1-3): low ovarian reserve and increased risk of menopause in the next 7 years. Normal follicle count (4-24): Normal follicle amount for women in reproductive age. High follicle count (>=): High risk of hyperandrogenism. It has been ...

  3. Fertility testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_testing

    Antral follicles are cells early in the process of developing from an oogonium into a mature oocyte. A physician may use a transvaginal ultrasound to visualize and count the number of antral follicles in each of a woman's ovaries in order to determine her ovarian reserve; however AFC is not predictive of embryo quality. [12]

  4. Poor ovarian reserve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_ovarian_reserve

    Transvaginal ultrasonography can be used to determine antral follicle count (AFC). This is an easy-to-perform and noninvasive method (but there may be some discomfort). Several studies show this test to be more accurate than basal FSH testing for older women (< 44 years of age) in predicting IVF outcome. [17]

  5. Age and female fertility - Wikipedia

    Transvaginal ultrasound can also be used to "count the number of follicles" and this procedure is called Antral Follicle Count. ... is a procedure done to preserve ...

  6. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_ovarian_hyper...

    Regarding antral follicle count, with the GnRH antagonist protocol initial follicular recruitment and selection is undertaken by endogenous endocrine factors prior to starting the exogenous hyperstimulation. This results in a smaller number of growing follicles when compared with the standard long GnRH agonist protocol.

  7. Ovarian reserve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovarian_reserve

    The ovary is generally thought of as an egg bank from which the woman draws during her reproductive life. The human ovary contains a population of primordial follicles.At 18–22 weeks post-conception, the female ovary contains its peak number of follicles (about 300,000 in the average case, but individual peak populations range from 35,000 to 2.5 million [3]). p The size of the initial ...

  8. Follicular phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicular_phase

    The rise in FSH levels recruits five to seven tertiary-stage ovarian follicles (this stage follicle is also known as a Graafian follicle or antral follicle) for entry into the menstrual cycle. These follicles, that have been growing for the better part of a year in a process known as folliculogenesis, compete with each other for dominance. [5]

  9. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovarian_hyperstimulation...

    The risk is further increased by multiple doses of hCG after ovulation and if the procedure results in pregnancy. [2] Using a GnRH agonist instead of hCG for inducing final oocyte maturation and/or release results in an elimination of the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, but a slight decrease of the delivery rate of approximately 6%.
