Antral follicle responsiveness to follicle-stimulating hormone administration assessed by the Follicular Output RaTe (FORT) may predict in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer outcome

Abstract

The observed relationship between IVF-ET outcome and the percentage of antral follicles that effectively respond to FSH administration reaching pre-ovulatory maturation suggests that FORT may be a qualitative reflector of ovarian follicular competence. Further studies with broader inclusion criteria and more personalized protocols are needed to validate these results.
