GlossaryOvarian Reserve (ovarian follicle count)

number and quality of remaining eggs in ovaries

Ovarian Reserve refers to the number and quality of a woman's remaining eggs in her ovaries, which can indicate her potential fertility. This reserve naturally declines with age and can be assessed through various tests, such as measuring levels of Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) or antral follicle count via ultrasound. Understanding ovarian reserve is crucial for women considering conception, fertility treatments, or assessing reproductive health.
