What is known already: Nowadays, AMH seems to be one of the most frequently used predictors of the ovarian response to ovarian stimulation and, in some cases, of the pregnancy rate.

Since the clinical importance of AMH continues to grow, different assays have been rapidly developed for its determination like the Elecsys AMH, which has been developed as automated testing systems by Roche Diagnostics. There are studies that observed a very small decrease in the AMH value in the frozen-thawed samples and is probably not clinically important. According to other studies the value of AMH increases in frozen samples.
