Introduction: Distinct androgen formulations have been used as gender-affirming hormone treatment, but little is known about the specific changes that may occur in the ovary depending on the testosterone preparation used. The study aims to evaluate the histological modifications of the ovarian tissue and the hormonal changes after gender-affirming surgery based on the testosterone preparation employed, such as testosterone cypionate or undecanoate.

This study reviews the experience of the Fertility Preservation Programme (FPP) of a tertiary public hospital with a multidisciplinary approach.

Objective: Evaluate antral follicle count measured after pituitary suppression (AFCaps) with a GnRH agonist as predictor of ovarian response and cumulative live birth (CLB).

Methods: This study is a large cohort analysis of retrospective data between January 2011 and September 2020 in a tertiary-care university hospital. All first initiated IVF/ICSI cycles in women under 43 years of age for whom AFCaps was registered in our database were included.
