Abstract
Objective: To compare peak to mid estradiol ratio with the probability of successful conception after intracytoplasmic
sperm injection.
Method: The quasi-experimental study was conducted in an infertility clinic at Islamabad from June 2010 till August
2011, and comprised couples subjected to intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection. Down-regulation of ovaries was
followed by calculated stimulation, ovulation induction, oocytes retrieval, intra cytoplasmic sperm injection, in vitro
maturation of embryos and finally blastocysts transfer. Serum estradiol was measured by enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay on ovulation induction day and the day of embryo transfer. Failure of procedure was detected
by beta human chorionic gonadotropin5-25mIU/ml (Group I; …
