  ABSTRACT: Background: during stimulation, estradiol levels represent the dynamic hormonal interaction of follicle development. Some studies have been done to evaluate the influence of day-hCG estradiol assay and IVF outcome. However, this assay does not reflect the total exposure of estradiol throughout stimulation. Hence the concept of calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of estradiol during ovarian stimulation is thought to be a better parameter to evaluate total exposure of estradiol to the entire process of IVF. Methods: a retrospective analysis of data from a fertility center in a tertiary hospital. Between 2011-2016, there were long GnRH agonist cycles and short GnRH antagonist cycles eligible for analysis. Data including subject’s characteristics, the level of estradiol on day-2, day-6, and day-hCG during controlled ovarian stimulation were obtained. Those data were plotted, and area under the curve of each subject was calculated. Statistical analysis was done using student t-test while p
