Ovarian Reserve Testing

Ovarian Reserve Testing

Ovarian Reserve Testing is a set of diagnostic tests used to evaluate a woman’s egg quantity and quality. It helps doctors assess fertility potential and predict how the ovaries will respond to treatments like IVF. Since egg count naturally declines with age, these tests provide valuable insight into reproductive health and pregnancy chances.

When is Ovarian Reserve Testing Recommended?

Doctors may recommend these tests in the following cases:

  • To assess fertility potential – estimating the number of eggs in the ovaries
  • To evaluate egg quality – predicting chances of natural conception or IVF success
  • For infertility diagnosis – identifying diminished ovarian reserve in women struggling to conceive
  • Before fertility treatments – checking if egg retrieval for IVF is possible
  • To detect early menopause risk – diagnosing Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)

Steps Involved in Ovarian Reserve Testing

The testing process usually involves two major steps:

  • Step 1: Blood Tests – AMH, FSH, and Estradiol levels are checked, usually on day 2–3 of the menstrual cycle.
  • Step 2: Ultrasound (AFC Scan) – A transvaginal ultrasound is performed to count the antral follicles in both ovaries. This scan is painless and takes about 10–15 minutes.
