Women with high levels of a specific hormone produce more eggs for in vitro fertilization procedures and are more likely to get pregnant, according to a new study. The finding about antimullerian hormone (AMH) could be useful for adjusting IVF preparations by adjusting how much follicle stimulation hormone women are receiving in the week or so before eggs are extracted for fertilization. “Clinicians can measure AMH before or during ovarian stimulation to counsel couples about their likelihood of success,” says Geralyn Lambert-Messerlian, professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at Brown University.
