Abstract
Background Various endocrine [follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), inhibin B, estradiol (E2) etc.], and ultrasound tests [ovarian volume, antral follicle counts (AFC)] have been suggested to improve prediction of oocyte yield and pregnancy outcome following assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Purpose to investigate whether serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), or antral follicle count (AFC) are predictive for clinical pregnancy in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) patients. Methods Serum AMH, FSH and AFC of 100 women under 40 years of age were investigated. Pregnant and non-pregnant women were compared. Results 33 (33%) chemical pregnancies were observed in 100 women. Clinical pregnancy was found in 21 women (63.6%) of chemical pregnancy. Conclusion Serum AMH was proved to be effective. Serum FSH wasn’t significant for both poor& high response. AFC was very helpful method.
