Ovary volume andAFC(antral follicle count) were determined through transvaginal ultrasound. Inour study, all patients were subjected to long protocol with GnRH agonist.Oocyte numbers equal to or higher than 4 were included in the “good response”group and oocyte numbers lower than 4 were included in the “poor response”group. Afterwards, the results obtained were statistically compared with otherparameters used for determination of ovarian reserve.Results. Significant differences were present between two groups in terms of age, serum FSH,AMH levels, hCG day E2 levels, number of antral follicles, hCG day folliclenumbers and mature oocyte numbers. When the cutoff value for AMH was taken tobe 0,24 ng/ml, sensitivity and specifity were determined to be 82.1% and 72.7%respectively. Conclusion: There is a strong relationship between serum AMH level and the ovarianresponse of the patients. Besides, AMH levels were determined to be in relationwith the pregnancy rate. CR - 1.
