| Abstract | ||
| An estimated 12–20% of couples struggle with infertility, which is described as not becoming pregnant after a year of trying. About one-third of these couples are infertile because of female factors, and another third are infertile because of male factors. A combination of the two may be experienced by couples in the remaining one-third. Its distributed into two groups: primary and secondary. There were a total of 60 participants, 30 of whom were older women (>35) and 30 of whom were younger women (<35). In this study, the results was a statistically highly significant positive correlation between GH and both serum and follicular fluid (FF), FSH (0.84, 0.81 mIU/ML), LH (0.76, 0.74 mIU/ML) and AMH (0.89, 0.86 mIU/ML), and there was highly significant positive correlation between GH and number of retrieval Oocyte (0.47, 0.46 mIU/ML), a negatively significant correlation was found between GH and the number of abortions (-0.10, -0.14 mIU/ML). Notably, the vast majority of the assessments of GH hormone levels in serum and follicular fluid revealed a statistically significant positive correlation with FSH, LH, and AMH, the frequency of miscarriages, the retrieval of oocytes, and infertility duration. These findings imply a strong positive correlation between GH and female fertility. As a result, much research is required to assess and estimate the importance of GH levels on women's fertility and to get an early hormone level assessment before beginning a GH-containing therapy program. | ||
