Abstract
The anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) is an indicator of ovarian reserve in women, related to the antral follicular reserve. It’s unclear if oocyte retrieval (pick up), could be detrimental to ovarian reserve. In this study, we investigate AMH levels in ART patients submitted to one or more oocyte retrievals. : In our experience there is no correlation found between AMH levels and previous oocyte retrievals in women younger than 40 years. However, in our series of patients the effect of previous oocyte retrievals seems to be associated to lower AMH levels in women over 40 years. Further studies are necessary to confirm our observations and to evaluate the relationship with the number of oocytes retrieved.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
