What is Ovarian Reserve Testing?

Heading

Ovarian reserve studies include both biochemical blood analyses and ultrasound imaging of the ovaries. For the evaluation of ovarian reserve, basal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol, anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), and antral follicle count (AFC) are frequently utilised.At the beginning of the menstrual cycle, blood levels of FSH and estradiol are assessed (day 2 or 3). Hormone levels reflect how the pituitary and ovaries act together. FSH, which is released by the pituitary gland, promotes follicle growth. At the beginning of the menstrual cycle, FSH levels are typically low, but as they rise, a follicle grows and the egg matures. Estradiol is released by the follicle at this time. Estradiol stimulates the pituitary gland to produce less FSH when levels are higher.A high FSH level suggests a diminished ovarian reserve, which lowers the likelihood of conception. Anti-Mullerian hormone and antral follicle count are two more accurate tests that should be used to confirm a diagnosis of egg depletion or sterility.One of the most reliable assays to gauge ovarian reserve is anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH). Increased numbers of mature oocytes, embryos, and eventually a greater clinical pregnancy rate are linked to elevated levels of AMH.The number of follicles measuring 2 to 10 mm in diameter as determined by a transvaginal ultrasound scan is known as the antral follicle count (AFC). The quantity of antral follicles reveals the number of eggs that are readily available as well as the expected outcome of hormonal stimulation treatments.

What are the results of ovarian reserve tests?

In comparison to other women her age, these tests forecast a woman's likelihood of becoming pregnant as well as her response to fertility treatments. A woman's ability to become pregnant is lowered if her ovarian reserve test results are abnormally low. A treatment plan is created for the patient undergoing IVF using ovarian reserve tests.

Conclusion

The number of eggs a woman has in her ovaries at any given age is known as her ovarian reserve. As the amount of eggs is decreased, their quality also declines. So, it stands for a woman's capacity to conceive naturally or through in vitro fertilisation.

If you’re unable to conceive after a year of actively trying to conceive, then you should consult a doctor.
