Testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate levels and IVF/ICSI results.

Objective: To determine the effect of serum androgens [testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS)] on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes.

Study Design: This observational (cross sectional) study was conducted on 53 consecutive infertile women undergoing IVF cycles in an academic infertility clinic between September 2006 and August 2007. Basal testosterone and DHEAS were measured and on third day of IVF cycle and on 14th day of embryo transfer these values were re-checked.
