Controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and optimum retrieval of fertilizable oocytes is crucial for IVF success. Ovarian response to COS is related to ovarian reserve (OR)- size of primordial follicular pool capable of maturing in the presence of gonadotrophins. There is a temporal fall in follicular pool from embryonic life onwards. The quest for ideal ovarian reserve test (ORT) resulted in several markers to measure ovarian response singly or in combination increasing the cost. The present study is a comparative evaluation of these tests with a view to ascertain the single most suitable test for ovarian response. The aim of the study is to compare and evaluate various ORTs with ovarian response and oocyte retrieval. The Objective of the study is to measure the hormonal and sonographic ovarian reserve markers and to evaluate which measure amongst them is superior in assessing the ovarian response and oocyte retrieval.
