[Basal fsh level is only predictive of the quantitative aspect of the ovarian response].

Background: Determination FSH and LH at day 3 of the menstrual cycle predicts the response to stimulation.

Aim: To evaluate the value of FSH and LH measurements compared with women's age in predicting qualitative and quantitative ovarian response to gonadotrophin stimulation.

Methods: 305 patients underwent at least one intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle.

[A retrospective study of 339 ICSI cycles: assesment of the two first years of activity of the Assisted Reproductive Technology Center of Aziza Othmana Hospital].

Background: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a micromanipulation-assisted fertilization, whereby one spermatozoon is injected into the oocyte cytoplasm. Initially, ICSI was the treatment of choice for male factor infertility. However, because of the high fertilization and pregnancy rates achieved with this technique, the scope of the procedure has been widened to include couples with other causes of infertility.
