N2 - Two IDD patients were stimulated with gonadotropins for IVF and ET. Both patients had high E2 response and ≥5 preovulatory oocytes retrieved, normal fertilization and cleavage rates, and transfer; neither conceived. Follicular fluid showed levels of E2, P, A, hCG, and PRL similar to non-IDD. Epidermal growth factor could not be detected in FF. Insulin-dependent diabetes patients can undergo gonadotropin stimulation for IVF with customary responses. Their follicular milieu resembles that of non-IDD patients except for a lack of EGF.
