Follicular flushing leads to higher oocyte yield in monofollicular IVF: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Study question

Does follicular flushing increase the number of mature oocytes in monofollicular IVF?

Summary answer

Follicular flushing increases the number of mature oocytes in monofollicular IVF.

What is known already

Flushing increases neither the oocyte yield nor the pregnancy rate in polyfollicular IVF or in poor responder patients. In monofollicular IVF, the effect of flushing has so far been addressed by two studies: (i) a prospective study with minimal stimulation IVF demonstrated an increased oocyte yield, and (ii) a retrospective study with natural cycle (NC)-IVF showed an increased oocyte yield and an increased transfer rate.

Study design, size, duration

Randomized controlled trial including 164 women who were randomized for either aspiration with or
