A pilot trial of large versus small diameter needles for oocyte retrieval.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that menstruation is associated with a higher concentration of endometrial cells in peritoneal fluid(PF) and with increased white and red blood cell concentration in PF when compared to nonmenstrual phases of the cycle. METHODS:PF was obtained at laparosc...
