Conditions
Brief summary
This study is to detect the infertile couple (women) Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) profile in major subgroups such as Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, etc via age intervals and ethnic difference.
Detailed description
To consecutively enroll infertile couple (women) who are undergoing their first controlled ovarian stimulation cycles. To mainly compare the inter-ethnic difference in age-specific AMH profile in unexplained infertility, male factor infertility, PCOS, Endometriosis etc. subgroups. To detect the influence of past or present smoking on age-specific AMH levels To study the influence of body mass index (BMI) on age specific AMH levels
