Abstract The aim of our study was to assess the value of serum AMH in prediction of metaphase II oocytes in poor responders. We performed a prospective cohort study included 206 poor responders candidate for ICSI using antagonist protocol. They were classified into 3 groups. Group I included 50 women with AMH < 0.3 ng/ml, group II included 85 women with AMH 0.3–0.7 ng/ml and group III included 71 women with AMH > 0.7–1.0 ng/ml. The primary outcome parameter was the number of MII oocytes. There was a highly significant difference between the study groups regarding E2 at triggering (481.41 ± 222.653, 648.17 ± 264.353 and 728.74 ± 305.412 respectively, number of oocyte retrieved (2.37 ± 1.178, 3.38 ± 1.622 and 3.80 ± 1.427 respectively), number of MII oocytes (1.66 ± 1.039, 2.35 ± 1.171 and 2.61 ± 1.080 respectively), number of fertilized oocytes (1.39 ± 0.919, 1.91 ± 0.983 and 2.21 ± 0.937 respectively), , total number of embryos (1.34 ± 0.938, 1.76 ± 0.956 and 2.09 ± 0.907 respectively), clinical pregnancy rates (4.9 vs. 7.7 and 19.7% respectively). We concluded that AMH is a good predictor for number of MII oocytes in poor responders undergoing ICSI.
