The reproducibility of serum anti-Müllerian hormone in subfertile women: within and between patient variability

Fertil Steril. 2011 Mar 1;95(3):1185-7. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2010.10.001. Epub 2010 Oct 30.

Abstract

Serum anti-Müllerian hormone concentrations vary significantly over time and this should be taken into account when tailoring treatment protocols for patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). Compared with FSH, serum anti-Müllerian hormone may have greater discriminatory power because of its modest intrapatient variation and the larger interpatient variation.
