[The results of consecutive stimulation of ovulation cycles in the same patient]

In this study oestradiol levels in consecutive cycles in the same patient using the same stimulation protocol were measured to determine whether oestradiol levels remained the same in consecutive cycles. The oestradiol patterns of 64 women in the first and consecutive stimulation cycles were individually determined, and classified into 5 patterns. The most favourable oestradiol pattern (pattern A) was significantly similar in consecutive cycles of the same patient. Therefore it is suggested that the same stimulation protocol could be used in patients with an initial A pattern.
