The role of anti-Müllerian hormone in prediction of pregnancy in young and older women with unexplained infertility undergoing intrauterine insemination

Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level is considered to be a reliable marker of ovarian reserve. However, there are conflicting reports on the role of AMH level in predicting pregnancy after intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical value of AMH i...

Description
Summary:Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level is considered to be a reliable marker of ovarian reserve. However, there are conflicting reports on the role of AMH level in predicting pregnancy after intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical value of AMH in predicting pregnancy in younger and older women with unexplained infertility undergoing gonadotropin stimulation and IUI. The medical records of 84 women who underwent first gonadotropin-stimulated IUI cycle owing to unexplained infertility were retrospectively evaluated. The relation of AMH levels with clinical pregnancy rate was analyzed. The overall clinical pregnancy rate was 19%. There was no significant difference in AMH levels between the pregnant and nonpregnant women (2.0 ± 1.0 vs 2.8 ± 2.0 ng/mL, respectively, p = 0.250). A further analysis according to age also failed to reveal significant differences in AMH levels between pregnant and nonpregnant women for both the younger (
