AFC is an ultrasound count of the small resting follicles in your ovaries near the start of a cycle. With AMH, it helps estimate your ovarian reserve and how you might respond to IVF.

Antral follicle count (AFC) is the number of small, resting follicles a doctor can see on an ultrasound near the start of your cycle.
