A woman with a history of infertility is undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF). If the administered dose of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is insufficient during ovarian stimulation, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

An insufficient FSH dose leads to fewer follicles reaching full maturity because the hormonal stimulation required for follicular growth is inadequate. Therefore, fewer mature oocytes are available for retrieval, rather than premature LH surge or hyperstimulation, which are related to excessive stimulation, or premature progesterone elevation.
