Abstract
Objective: To measure the outcome of age on ovarian and uterine morphology in primary infertile women with
polycystic ovaries.
Methods: The observational cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2009 to March 2010, and the
subjects were recruited from Ziauddin Hospital, Nazimabad, Karachi. The primary infertile subjects with polycystic
ovaries were subdivided into two age groups:20-30 years (group I), and 31-40 years (group II). Both groups had equal
number of subjects. The ovarian volume, follicles count and size, uterine area and endometrial thickness were
determined by transabdominal and transvaginal scans. Shapiro-Wilk's test and Mann-Whitney test were applied,
with p<0.05 being significant.

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; …
