The predictive value of antral follicle count remains unchanged across the menstrual cycle.

Objective: To explore whether the predictive value of antral follicle count (AFC) changes when measured at different times during the menstrual cycle. Antimüllerian hormone (AMH) and AFC are considered to be equally predictive of poor ovarian response; however, AMH is considered to have an advantage over AFC, because AMH concentrations can be measured at any time during the menstrual cycle.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.
