About

While practicing the different assisted reproductive techniques, the investigators are faced daily by the problem of poor responder females, and the debate about predicting its results based on the outcome of the different ORTs used. Due to the cost of AMH as an indicator for ovarian response, the need to re-assess its role was essential in our community, which led us to conduct this prospective multi-center IVF study.
