Background: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between L-carnitine, antimullerian hormone levels in follicle fluids and oocyte maturation, quality and pregnancy outcomes in IVF and embryo transfer cycles. Methods: Patients who were followed up for infertility and planned for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for ICSI and ET were included in the study. Ovulation induction was performed using the antagonist protocol. The pregnancy success rate of the obtained oocytes and fertilized embryos was evaluated. Correlation of L-carnitine and AMH levels with embryo quality, oocyte maturation, fertilization, biochemical pregnancy and clinical pregnancy rates were evaluated. Data analysis was done with SPSS 22 program. Pearson, Spearman's Correlation coefficient Student's t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used. The ROC curve was plotted to determine the utility of some serum parameters as a diagnostic test in predicting pregnancy occurrence. Results: Follicular fluid AMH average of those with negative pregnancy result is 0.95ng/ml, while the average of those with positive pregnancy result is 0.66ng/ml. The average of the follicle fluid L-carnitine value of those with a negative pregnancy result is 134.02 μmol/Lichen, and the average of those with a positive pregnancy result is 144.78 μmol/L. No statistically significant relationship was found between both variables and pregnancy outcome (p>0.05). Conclusions: In this study, no significant relationship was found between L-carnitine and antimullerian hormone levels in follicular fluids and oocyte maturation, quality and pregnancy outcomes in IVF and embryo transfer cycles.
