Figure 2.
Hormonal profiles for six POI patients showing follicle growth after the IVA procedure. Serum levels of estradiol, FSH, and LH (left y-axis) were measured and plotted together with follicle diameters (right y-axis) estimated based on ultrasound monitoring. X-axis represents the number of days after ovarian grafting. Hormonal treatment protocols are also shown. A, spontaneous follicle growth. B, GnRH agonist followed by HMG treatment. C, HMG treatment with or without E/P pretreatment. Abbreviations: E-P, pretreatment with estrogen and progesterone; GnRH-a, GnRH agonist; opu, ovum pickup.
