Abstract
A proper evaluation of the stimulation process includes both functional (i.e., hormonal measures) and morphological (i.e., ultrasound visualization) indices. The combined evaluation should identify a comfort zone between inadequate and excessive stimulation. Zone parameters are assuredly different for mono- or paucifollicular (classic) stimulations on the one hand, and multifollicular (for IVF) stimulations on the other.
