Ovarian reserve testing aims to measure the number of eggs a person has left in their ovarian reserve along with egg quality.
A woman is born with a finite number of eggs and this is the collective number of eggs known as the ovarian reserve. As a woman continues to age, the number of eggs left in the reserve gradually tends to decrease throughout the course of their life. Along with the reserve, the quality of eggs also tends to decrease and greatly affects the ability to conceive. Hence, this test is done to aptly measure the number of eggs left in the ovarian reserve to accurately predict fertility and what can be done to overcome it.

Anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) – This hormone, which is secreted by each of the antral follicles is indicative of the residual ovarian reserve.
AFC Test: Antral follicle count or AFC test is taken to help evaluate the number of eggs that remain in an ovarian reserve. Unlike other tests, this test is done with the help of a vaginal ultrasound This test is used to determine the remaining egg-releasing follicles which can help in predicting the response to fertility medication.
