Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate and to compare the relations of anti-Mullerian with the prognostic parameters and the outcome of assisted reproductive treatment. Methods: Prospective longitudinal study. A total of one hundred and twelve infertile women. Inclusion criteria: i) both ovaries present, ii) no current or past diseases affecting ovaries or gonadotropin or sex steroid secretion, clearance, or excretion, iii) no current hormone therapy, iv) adequate visualization of ovaries at transvaginal ultrasound scans, and v) total number of small antral follicles (3–12 mm in diameter) between 1 and 32 follicles. On cycle day 3, woman underwent blood sampling for serum FSH and AMH measurement and a transvaginal ovarian ultrasound scan for follicle measurement. Ongoing pregnancy was evaluated as biochemical pregnancy and observation of gestational sac(s). Results: Mean age of 36.13 ± 4.65 years old, BMI 21.59 ± 2.78 kg/m2, and length of infertility of 2.88 ± 2.36 years. Their ovaries had an average of 13.74 ± 6.0 antral follicles and AMH was 2.49 ± 1.98 ng / mL. A significant relationship of AMH with age (r = -0.37 P <.01) , with FSH (r = -0.22, P <.01) , with AFC (r = 0.74, P <.00001), with smoking (P <.009), with SOP (P <.00001), with the total dose of the drug during stimulation ovarian (r = -0.36, P <.0004), with abortion (P <.05) and with the ongoing pregnancy (P <.05). Conclusion: AMH is a marker of quantitative and qualitative aspects of the ovarian reserve.
