Abstract

The failure of tests of ovarian reserve to predict clinical pregnancy in women 40 years old and older prompted this study of the predictive value of information obtained during the first cycle of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Stimulation characteristics during the first IVF cycle attempt were unhelpful in predicting the possibility of clinical pregnancy within the first three consecutive IVF cycles.
