Are intra follicular estradiol and oocytes quality in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology different between the right and left ovaries? An observational study

 ABSTRACT: Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (COS) for In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is considered as an assisted reproduction technology. There are established structural and biological differences between both ovaries which may affect their responsiveness to COS. Whether the right or the left ovary responds superior to COS is a question which is unresolved in the literature. The present study was conducted as a prospective observational to make a comparison between right and left ovaries’ oocytes based on oocyte quality and follicular fluid estradiol level. A total of 100 infertile women who had referred to Infertility and Reproductive Health Research center at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, were investigated.
