The vascularization status of ovarian follicles affects reproductive competence of oocytes and in turn embryo quality by regulating its oxygen supply. Transvaginal power Doppler ultrasound can noninvasively map this vascularity of the ovarian follicles. Thus, we aimed to study the association of perifollicular vascularity and pregnancy outcome in women while on treatment for an in vitro fertilization cycle.
