| Table 2. Main relationships of bFSH levels and AFC values with ART outcomes. | ||
| Higher bFSH levels | Lower bFSH levels | Higher AFC |
|---|---|---|
| Lower ovarian reserve | Higher FR | Higher number of COC |
| Higher poor response cycles | Higher embryo quality | |
| Higher gonadotropin dose | Higher LBR | AFC <5 correlates with: |
| Higher cancellation rates | Increased risk of embryo aneuploidy |
|
| Lower number of COC | No correlation with: | |
| Lower MII quality | CPR, LBR | |
| Lower FR | ||
| Lower embryo quality | ||
| Lower CPR | Decreases with age | |
| Higher miscarriage rate | ||
| Lower cycles reaching embryo transfer | ||
| Lower embryos for transfer | ||
| With correlation if >38 years old: | ||
| Lower CPR, LBR | ||
| No correlation if ≤38 years old: | ||
| CPR, LBR | ||
| AMH is a superior predictor than age or bFSH: | ||
| Ovarian response, COC, LBR | ||
| Increases with age | ||
