title: The effect of follicular antimullerian hormone levels of non-obese, non-hyperandrogenemic polycystic ovary syndrome patients on assisted reproduction outcome.
abstract: Our aim is to investigate the follicular fluid concentrations of antimullerian hormone and its effect on assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcome in non-obese, non-hyperandrogenemic polycystic ovary syndrome patients. Subjects were categorized according to in vitro fertilization (IVF) indications: Group 1 PCOS (n:16), Group 2 male factor infertility (n:19) and Group 3 unexplained infertiliy patients (n:19). Follicular fluid antimullerian hormone levels (FF AMH) on the day of oocyte retrieval were analysed and ART outcome was studied. FF AMH levels in group 1, 2 and 3 were 35.70 ng/ml (median); 17.90 ng/ml (median); 17.90 ng/ml (median), respectively (p = 0.18). There were correlations between the FF AMH levels and follicle, oocyte, 2PN and embryo numbers in pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients (p = 0.012; 0.024; 0.027; 0.013 respectively). There were no correlations between the FF AMHand ART outcome parameters in group 2 and 3. FF AMH levels were not different between the groups who were pregnant or not (p = 0.06). In conclusion there were no significant differences in terms of FF AMH levels in the three groups. FF AMH levels can predict the recovery of oocytes but not oocyte quality, embryo quality or pregnancy in non-obese non-hyperandrogenemic PCOS patient.
