Summary
In medically assisted reproduction, markers of ovarian reserve are largely used as predictors of ovarian response with the aim to individualise ovarian stimulation therapy and to counsel patients on reproductive outcome. For several years, serum AMH and ultrasound antral follicle count (AFC) have shown to be the most accurate markers and to be highly correlated. The demonstration of AMH’s major predictive value in one trial and two trials post-hoc analyses lays a first solid foundation for the supremacy of this marker. Other studies are needed, but we think that AMH dosing with new automated assays could only confirm these results.
