title: Follicle-stimulating hormone levels and medication compliance during in vitro fertilization.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the use of serum FSH levels during gonadotropin therapy for IVF to ensure medication compliance.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  University-based reproductive endocrinology clinic.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two women with normal ovarian reserve undergoing IVF cycles with unexpected clinical responses.
  
  
  METHODS
  FSH laboratory values.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ovarian follicular development.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Adequate follicular response leading to oocyte retrieval.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Determination of serum FSH levels may help detect noncompliance with recommended gonadotropin regimens during IVF.
