Abstract
Cycle cancellation rate was 145 patients whose cycle was cancelled had significantly lower AMH than women who reached oocyte pickup OPU Among those who reached OPU age significantly affected the success rate despite comparable AMH levels patients below 35 years obtained significantly more oocytes and a better clinical pregnancy rate CPR/OPU than patients aged 35–39 or 40–43 31 vs 232 vs 102 respectively p = 0001 Differently comparable IVF results were observed stratifying patients for AMH levels in the range 014–049 ng/ml Multivariable logistic regression analysis confirmed that the probability of pregnancy was significantly affected by age but not by small differences in AMH levelWomen with very low 05 ng/ml AMH levels undergoing IVF still have reasonable chances of achieving a pregnancy but their prognosis is significantly affected by chronological age Very low AMH levels are associated with a relevant risk of cycle cancellation but should not be considered a reason to exclude a couple from IVF
