In all patients
the ultrasonographic folliculometry was
performed as a reference method. Along
with ultrasonographic folliculometry, FERN
and GANOP test were performed, all three in
morning hours; that morning, the patients
didn’t eat, smoke or drink.
The results of
ultrasonographic folliculometry and FERN
test are shown in table 2.
