Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a reproductive disorder of ovarian hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance characterized by abnormal luteinization of small follicles. After exposure to GnRH analog/FSH stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF), however, it is unclear whether such PCOS follicles remain abnormally luteinized during the resumption of oocyte maturation in vivo.
