Abstract
The objective of study was to identify the correlations between the tests currently used in ovarian reserve
assessment: anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and antral follicle count (AFC) and to
distinguish the most reliable markers for ovarian reserve in order to select an adequate strategy for the initial stages of
infertility treatment. In this prospective study, 112 infertile women were assessed and AMH, FSH and AFC were
determined on days 2 of their menstrual cycles. AMH and AFC positively correlates with oocytes retrieved. FSH
negatively correlates with oocytes retrieved. Currently, AMH should be considered as the more reliable of the ovarian
reserve assessments tests compared to FSH. There is a strong positive correlation between serum AMH level and AFC.
The use of AMH combined with AFC may improve ovarian reserve evaluation
