A study compared the in vitro fertilization results in women with one or two ovaries. Eighteen percent (23/125) of in vitro fertilization/embryo transfer cycles were in patients with one ovary. One-ovary patients averaged 4.2 follicles (greater than or equal to 10 mm) as compared to 7.9 in two-ovary patients, and significantly fewer ova were recovered from one-ovary patients (4.0 vs. 5.3). The total follicular volume was significantly less in one-ovary patients as compared to two-ovary patients, and the serum estradiol per follicle was less in one-ovary patients. However, the volume of the dominant follicle, the maximum serum estradiol levels, the number of ampules of Pergonal given and the ovum fertilization rate were not significantly different in one- and two-ovary patients. The mean number of embryos transferred was 3.9 +/- 1.9 in one-ovary patients and 4.5 +/- 1.8 in two-ovary patients (NS). Two pregnancies occurred in one-ovary patients (8.3% per laparoscopy) and 13 in two-ovary patients (12.9% per laparoscopy). The two one-ovary patients who achieved pregnancy behaved more like two-ovary patients in terms of peak serum estradiol levels and number of ova recovered.
