PURPOSE: To determine whether the antral follicle count can predict the number of retrieved oocytes in @entity1 undergoing @entity52 ( @entity52 ) and to correlate it with maternal age and pregnancy rate. METHODS: This was a retrospective observational study based on a review of medical records from 193 @entity1 who underwent assisted reproduction techniques between September 2010 and September 2012 in a Clinic for @entity1 Reproduction. The study included @entity1 indicated for @entity52 who had follicle-stimulating hormone levels below 10 mIU/mL on third day of the menstrual cycle, with oocyte recipients being excluded. The @entity1 were divided into three groups according to the number of antral follicle (up to 10 follicles, 11-22 follicles, and 23 or more follicles). To compare these three groups with the group of @entity1 who became pregnant, @entity1 who had not developed oocytes and had not undergone embryo transfer were also excluded. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to measure the level of association between the numerical variables, and   2 test was used to compare pregnancy rates with antral follicle count. To assess the likelihood of pregnancy, we used multivariate logistic regression, with the level of significance set at 5%. RESULTS: The pregnancy rate of the sample was 35.6%. There was a positive significant correlation (sc) between antral follicle count and number of retrieved oocytes (sc=0.5; p<0.05) and a negative correlation between antral follicle count and age (sc= -0.5; p<0.05). There was no significant difference (p=0.16) when groups with different numbers of follicles were compared to the positive pregnancy test group; however, a cutoff of 27 antral follicles was observed in multivariate analysis, after which the probability of successful gestation tended to remain constant. CONCLUSIONS: The antral follicle count decreases over the years, is a predictor of the number of retrieved oocytes and can predict the likelihood of the success of @entity52 .
