The exact number of follicles that can be retrieved with an estradiol of 1900 will be affected by individual differences, probably around 5 to 6.
Generally speaking, the higher the number of follicles, the higher the patient’s estradiol level. Conversely, the lower the number of follicles, the lower the estradiol level. Follicles are usually retrieved primarily for the purpose of IVF.
The number of follicles is not directly related to the success rate of IVF, as it is the quality of the eggs in the follicles that is key to the success rate of IVF. For those undergoing IVF, close monitoring of the body’s hormones is usually required, followed by egg retrieval.
It is recommended that patients should be under the guidance of a medical professional to avoid frequent and excessive egg retrieval, which can cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
