title: Predicting in vitro fertilization live birth using stimulation day 6 estradiol, age, and follicle-stimulating hormone.
abstract: A retrospective analysis of IVF data was performed to determine predictors of live birth rate in four common stimulation protocols. A combination of day 6 E2 levels, age, and day 3 FSH levels can be used to predict cycle outcome.
