The size of follicle under 10
mm was sonographicaly registered in 56
(26.3%) examinations, 11-17 mm in 67 (31.4%)
examinations, 18-25 mm in 69 (32.4%)
examinations and in 21 examination (9.9%)
the ovulation was registered.
The higher
percentage of negative FERN test results was
found in small size follicles while, in
larger size follicles, there was a higher
percentage of positive results. Those
differences are statistically significant
(Chi-square = 61.058; P<0.001).
A significant
and high correlation was established between
the size of follicle and FERN test results (
Phi=0.512; C=0.423; P<0.01).
The results of
ultrasonographic folliculometry and GANOP
test are shown in table 3.

The higher
percentage of negative GANOP TEST results
has been found in small size follicles
while, in larger size follicles, there has
been a higher percentage of positive ones
(Chi-square = 63.539 ; P < 0.001). There is
a highly significant correlation between the
size of the follicle and the results of
GANOP TEST ( Phi=0.541; C=0.476 ; P< 0.01).
Comparative
analyses of FERN and GANOP tests in relation
to sonographic folliculometry are shown in
tables 4,5,6 and 7.

Comparative
values of Fern and Ganop tests at the size
of follicles up to 10 mm (n=56) are shown
in the table 4. At this size of the
follicle, there was no statistically
significant difference in the percentage of
positive results ( Chi square= 1.039; P >
0.05). The percentage of positive results in
FERN test and GANOP test was 26.8% (15) and
35.7% (20) respectively.
