What is low ovarian reserve?

Low ovarian reserve means you have fewer eggs remaining in your ovaries than expected for your age.

Low ovarian reserve is when the number of eggs in your ovaries is lower than what we'd typically expect for someone your age. This can happen naturally as you get older, but it can also be affected by things like genetics, medical conditions, or previous surgery. It doesn't mean you can't get pregnant, but it can make it harder, and sometimes the response to fertility medication might be lower. We usually check your ovarian reserve with tests like Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), Antral Follicle Count (AFC), and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). These help us understand your fertility picture and personalise the best treatment approach for you.
