title: The forgotten variable: impact of luteinizing hormone on the prediction of ovarian reserve.
abstract: The impact of basal LH levels in the prediction of ovarian function in women initiating fertility treatment remains controversial. The present study demonstrates high-normal basal LH levels as a good, and low-normal basal LH levels as a negative prognostic sign for oocyte yield in regular-cycling women with borderline basal FSH levels (10.1-15 mU/mL).
