- Abstract
The essential quality of a successful assisted reproductive technology cycle is selection of the correct stimulation protocol for individual patient. This in our study is done by combining ultrasound parameters with the basic biometric parameters [age and body mass index (BMI)] of individual patient to tailor the stimulation protocol for every patient. The parameters used on ultrasound were ovarian size (volume), number of antral follicles, ovarian stromal resistance index and peak systolic velocity (PSV). We developed a scoring system using the abovementioned parameters. The score of the patient was used to calculate the dose of gonadotropins for ovarian stimulation in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. In our experience, this scoring system has been proved to be very effective for optimum stimulation that would significantly reduce the incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and also reduce the multiple pregnancy rates to acceptable levels.
