The value of different ovarian reserve tests in the prediction of ovarian response in patients with unexplained infertility

Background: Ovarian reserve tests in unexplained infertility patients before management either by ovulation induction or IVF program are a worthy procedure as it saves unnecessary procedures, induction complications, canceled cycles, wasted resources and emotional stress to the couple in case of low estimate, and can as well help in adjusting the doses to obtain the most appropriate response. Aim of work: To determine the value of mean ovarian volume, AFC, maternal age, FSH and AMH in infertile patients undergoing ovulation induction or IVF cycles. Primary outcome is to predict the best parameter of ovarian reserve. Design: Prospective cross-sectional study. Patients and methods: One hundred infertile women received treatment in the form of induction of ovulation and timed intercourse/IUI or IVF. They had basal FSH, AMH, AFC and mean ovarian volume assessment. The response was then evaluated according to the number of follicles on the day of hCG or the number of oocytes retrieved in IVF cycles. Results and conclusion: The total AFC and AMH are found to correlate significantly with the ovarian response with p values
