Basal androgen status as a modifiable predictor of poor ovarian response in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation

J. Rehnitz
IntroductionOvarian response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) is commonly predicted by age, ovarian reserve markers, and outcomes of previous stimulation cycles. Androgens play a key role in follicular recruitment, development, and atresia. This study aimed to evaluate circulating androgens as additional, potentially modifiable prognostic markers of ovarian response.Materials and methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study analyzing oocyte yield after COH in relation to early fo
