2. Figure 1
Impact of short-term pituitary suppression on antral follicle count (AFC) and number of oocytes retrieved. A significant decrease in AFC after pituitary suppression (suppressed AFC) was observed in all treatment groups. Nonetheless, this decrease in AFC did not compromise the number of oocytes recovered after pituitary suppression, as both baseline and suppressed AFC were significant predictors of number of oocytes retrieved. GnRHa = GnRH agonist; OCP = oral contraceptive pills.

3. Figure 2
Age, baseline antral follicle count (AFC), and hormones independently affect the decrease in AFC after pituitary suppression. These plots demonstrate the theoretical predicted decrease in AFC after pituitary suppression in women between 30 and 49 years old taking E2 (estradiol), GnRH-a (GnRH agonist), OC pills (OCP), or OCP/GnRH-a. Negative value of Y-axis demonstrates the decrease in AFC after pituitary suppression factoring age and baseline AFC. (A) Theoretical model for patients with AFC ≤10. (B) Theoretical model for patients with AFC ≥11.
