Preovulatory PFs from 18 patients with endometriosis (11 stage I-II rAFS and/stage III-IV; 10 with active lesions and 8 with inactive disease), and from 15 women with unexplained infertility were collected and frozen at the time of diagnostic laparoscopy. The ten patients with active endometriosis were treated by 3 months ovarian desensitization by a GnRH a (Decapeptyl 3.75 mg, Ipsen, Milan Italy) followed by a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with a purified FSH (Metrodin, Serono, Rome, Italy) and HCG 10.000 UI (Profasi, Serono) when appropriate.
