Fertil Steril. 2005 Sep;84(3):795-7. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2005.02.042.

Abstract

A retrospective analysis of IVF data was performed to determine predictors of live birth rate in four common stimulation protocols. A combination of day 6 E2 levels, age, and day 3 FSH levels can be used to predict cycle outcome.
