Brief Summary
In an era of delayed fertility plans, there is an increasing need for a reliable method to predict ovarian reserve and responsiveness. The current tests include serum FSH, Inhibin B, Mullerian inhibiting factor (MIF) and ultrasonographic measures such as ovarian volume and number of antral follicles are non-specific and with questionable reliability. The biochemical tests represent the function of production of androgens, as a predictor of ovarian reserve, has not been tested yet. Working hypothesis and aims: testing the prognostic capability of hCG stimulating test of theca cells for estimating the ovarian reserve, and by that to calculate better the chance for IVF cycle success
