The Mathematical Outcome of The IVF, Including Early Cleavage

Aim: In this manuscript, the examination of independent factors for the success of IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) was aimed to be conducted. Material and Methods: Hormones, including Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone(FSH), the growth stages of the oocyte that turns into an embryo (total fertilized oocyte, early cleavage, etc.), the medical adjustments were included. Our dependent factor, the success of fertilization, was categorized into two groups; in other words, binary logistic regression for pregnancy success was examined. Results: For the statistical significance of our study, Omnibus Tests of Model Coefficients (p-value=0,008) and Hosmer and Lemeshow tests (p-value=0,462) were conducted. Our model was successful through statistical meaningfulness. With a ChiSquare test with a p-value of close to zero, women’s age groups were proven different for groups below and over the age of 35 for InVitro Fertilization (IVF) Discussion and conclusion: Study shows Early Segmentation increases the chances of pregnancy; In contrast, the woman's age and FSH reduce the likelihood of pregnancy.
