From: Individualization of the FSH starting dose in IVF/ICSI cycles using the antral follicle count
The FSH starting dose for patients included in the study was calculated by the nomogram incorporating age, AFC and FSH. Overall the model predicts a dose lower than 225 IU of FSH in 50.2% of patients ≤35 yrs (12.8%, 16.9% and 20.5% of patients had a predicted daily dose of <150, 150–187.5 and 187.5-225 IU, respectively). The percentage of women >35 yrs with a predicted dose lower than 225 IU was 18.1% (3.2%, 7.8% and 7.1% of women had a predicted daily dose of <150, 150–187.5 and 187.5-225 IU, respectively).
