Abstract

Significant changes in AMH levels occur in the first 4 weeks after depot leuprolide administration, suggesting that AMH may not be a reliable marker of ovarian reserve during this interval. Changes in AMH occurred independent of gonadotropin levels, supporting a direct effect of GnRHa on granulosa cell expression of AMH or an indirect effect of GnRHa on the development and/or dynamics of the follicle pool.
