Abstract

To investigate the utility of random anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in assessing ovarian response among women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) diagnosed by elevated early follicular-phase FSH levels. Retrospective study. Academic and academically affiliated assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs. Seventy-three women undergoing ART with elevated early follicular FSH levels. None. Number of oocytes retrieved during ART cycle, number of day 3 embryos, and cycle cancellation and clinical pregnancy rates. Random AMH levels were strongly correlated with the number of oocytes retrieved during an ART cycle among women with elevated FSH (r=0.55). Women with elevated FSH who had a random serum AMH level of 0.6 ng/mL or higher had twice the number of oocytes retrieved (11±1.3 vs. 5.6±0.6), a greater number of day 3 embryos (5.7±0.9 vs. 3±0.5), and approximately a third of the cycle cancellation rate (14% vs. 41%) compared with women with a random serum AMH below 0.6 ng/mL. The clinical pregnancy rate was also higher among women with a random serum AMH≥0.6 ng/mL (28% vs. 14%), however, the difference was not statistically significant. A random serum AMH level is useful in setting expectations for ART prognosis in women with elevated early follicular-phase serum FSH levels.
