Fertility and IVF calculators

Every calculator in one place, free and with no sign-up. Results show instantly — we don't hide them behind a form. Each one explains what the number means, where the reference ranges come from, and what it cannot tell you.

How these differ from other calculators

Common questions

Second opinion

Bring your numbers to someone who can see the rest

A calculator sees three or four figures. A specialist sees your history, your scans, your partner's results, and how you actually responded to treatment. If you're between cycles, changing clinics, or something in your results doesn't add up, a second opinion is the fastest way to find out whether anything would be done differently.

Free first consultation. No obligation to start treatment, and it doesn't affect your care at your current clinic.

These tools provide general information and are not a diagnosis or a substitute for assessment by a qualified clinician. Reference ranges and sources are stated on each calculator. Predictive estimates describe groups of people and cannot predict an individual outcome.

Follicle to oocyte index

Eggs retrieved relative to the follicles available.

Exact calculationArithmetic on the numbers you enter. If your inputs are right, this figure is right.

inputEggs retrieved÷inputAntral follicle count=resultFollicle to oocyte index (FOI) (%)
In short

The follicle to oocyte index is eggs retrieved divided by antral follicle count. Below 50% is used in the POSEIDON framework as a marker of hyporesponse despite adequate reserve.

Source — FOI below 50% is used in the POSEIDON framework as a marker of hyporesponse despite adequate reserve.

Questions this usually raises

How is this different from FORT?

FORT measures follicles that responded to stimulation. FOI measures eggs actually retrieved against the starting cohort — it covers the whole pathway including retrieval.

Can FOI exceed 100%?

Yes. The baseline scan does not see every follicle, so retrieval can exceed the counted antral follicles.

Which is more useful, FOI or FORT?

They answer different questions. FORT stops at follicle response; FOI covers the whole pathway through to eggs in the dish, including the retrieval itself. Read together they show where in the chain a disappointing cycle actually lost ground.

Or ask someone
  • A free first consultation covers this properly, with your actual results rather than an estimate
  • Both partners assessed together — male factor is involved in roughly half of cases

FOI is a research-derived index used within the POSEIDON framework, not a standalone measure. Nothing here is a diagnosis or a substitute for assessment by a clinician.
