    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.

    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] A higher number of antral follicles indicates a higher likelihood of pregnancy by IVF.

    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 ...

    Under ultrasound guidance, the operator inserts a 16.5 gauge × 11.8″ (1.6 mm × 300 mm outer diameter) needle through the vaginal wall and into an ovarian follicle, taking care not to injure nearby organs and blood vessels. The other end of the needle is attached to a suction device.

    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 ...

  7. Poor ovarian reserve - Wikipedia

    Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has a long half life and may stimulate (luteinize) small follicles prematurely and cause them to become cysts. Whereas nafarelin acetate in a nasal spray induces a short lived LH surge that is high enough to induce ovulation in large follicles, but too short lived to adversely affect small follicles.

    Ovulation occurs about midway through the menstrual cycle, after the follicular phase, and is followed by the luteal phase.Note that ovulation is characterized by a sharp spike in levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), resulting from the peak of estrogen levels during the follicular phase.
