title: [Significance of a specific LH profile after follicle stimulation for producing a pregnancy with IVF/ET].
abstract: We report on a retrospective study of LH-profiles after follicular augmentation for in vitro fertilization in order to be able to predict more precisely the chance of success. In 30 out of 34 patients we were able to retrospectively characterize the patients as potentially pregnant or not pregnant. In a prospective application of this statistical method, it should be possible to decide on the basic of specific LH-profiles whether to continue with follicular aspiration or to cancel the cycle in order to increase the pregnancy rate.
