Figure 3 Effect of FSH on follicular growth and antimüllerian hormone (AMH) secretion in the ovary without (A) and during the use of combined contraception (B). Combined contraceptives reduce the effect of FSH and thus inhibit the growth of follicles, mainly in the antral stage. Reduced granulosa cell (GC) mass of the follicles results in a significant decrease in AMH secretion, mainly in antral follicles, but perhaps to some extent also in follicles at preceding stages.
