Background: The objective of this study was to determine the prognostic value of the basal estradiol (E2) and inhibin-B levels, the antral follicle count (AFC), and the clomiphene citrate challenge test (CCCT) of ovarian response in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), in an outcome with normal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) concentration in the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle.
Methods: Fifty-two patients undergoing IVF treatment were included in the study. Blood samples were collected for assessment of basal E2, FSH, and inhibin-B levels.

Purpose: To determine the predictive value of mean ovarian diameter of ovarian response in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), in outcome with normal FSH level in early follicular phase of menstrual cycle.
Methods: A prospective study established the prognostic value of the mean ovarian diameter of total 57 cases, including 17 patients undergoing IVF treatment with poor ovarian response and 40 patients (control group) with adequate ovarian response.
Results: The mean ovarian diameter (MOD) of patients in the cancelled group was significantly lower (19.
