Why does elevated inhibin B during ovarian stimulation protocols sometimes prevent successful oocyte retrieval?

💡 Explanation

Elevated inhibin B selectively inhibits FSH secretion through negative feedback because inhibin B is produced by granulosa cells, suppressing further follicle development. Therefore, oocyte retrieval is compromised due to follicle maturation arrest, rather than LH surge blockage or direct luteinization.
