Synchronization of ovarian stimulation with follicle wave emergence in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization with a prior suboptimal response: a randomized, controlled trial Angela Baerwald, Ph.D., Paula Anderson, R.N., B.Sc.N., Albert Yuzpe, M.D., Allison Case, M.D., Margo Fluker, M.D. Fertility and Sterility Volume 98, Issue 4, Pages 881-887.e2 (October 2012) DOI: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2012.06.051 Copyright © 2012 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions
Figure 1 Schematic illustration of the physiologic rationale for synchronizing ovarian stimulation with follicle wave emergence in women with two (A) or three (B) waves of follicle development during the menstrual cycle. Follicles with solid lines have previously been detected in all women, whereas follicles with dotted lines were detected in some, but not all, women. Circles on the x-axes represent the days of wave emergence, as previously reported. Cont = control; Exp = experimental. This figure is based on Baerwald et al., 2003 (1) and Baerwald et al., 2003 (14).
