The influence of circulating anti-Müllerian hormone on ovarian responsiveness to ovulation induction with gonadotrophins in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome: a pilot study

Table 2 Day 2-3 serum hormonal concentrations and ovarian volume in 34 cycles of hMG ovarian stimulation in 20 anovulatory women with PCOS

	Cycles with poor response to FSH stimulation* (n = 15)	Cycles with good response to FSH stimulation** (n = 19)	p
LH (IU/L)	6.7 (1.3-17.4)	8.6 (5.2-18.9)	.348
FSH (IU/L)	4.5 (4.0-6.0)	4.5 (1.0-14.1)	.650
Testosterone (nmol/l)	2.6 (0.9-3.6)	2.1 (1.6-3.6)	.705
FAI	7.0 (2.0-13.0)	6.0 (3.0-13.0)	.983
Ovarian volume (ml)	14.1 (8.5-16.7)	10.9 (8.0-16.7)	.188
AMH (ng/ml)	6.5 (5.1-13.4)	4.0 (2.2-10.2)	.007

The results are compared between cycles with poor response and those with good response. Values are presented as median (range). Mann-Whitney test was used for comparisons.
*Poor response, is defined as absence of or delayed ovulation (>20 days of hMG stimulation).
**Good response is defined as occurrence of ovulation within 20 days of hMG stimulation.
