Background: Oxidative stress due to inflammatory processes in women who want to become pregnant affects the chance of pregnancy success. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of the platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which are indicators of systemic inflammation and are assessed in the complete blood count parameters, on the pregnancy success of women who desire pregnancy. Materials and Methods: The data of 170 patients who applied to Giresun Gynecology and Obstetrics outpatient clinic requesting pregnancy between December 2022 and December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, and the data of 94 patients who met the inclusion and acceptance criteria were evaluated. Demographic data, ovarian reserve test data, thyroid stimulating hormone data, prolactin data, neutrophil data, lymphocyte data, platelet data, NLR, data PLR data of these patients were compared between pregnancy and non-pregnancy groups. Results: Lymphocyte count and PLR were higher in the group with biochemical pregnancy (p=0.048 and p=0.046). PLR was significantly higher in the group with clinical pregnancy (p=0.020). There was no statistical difference in ovarian reserve tests, and other parameters between the groups, with and without biochemical and clinical pregnancy. Conclusion: While PLR and high lymphocyte count were significant for predicting biochemical pregnancy occurrence, other parameters had no effect on pregnancy occurrence.
