The ovarian reserve is the amount of eggs available in a woman at a given time, since this amount is reduced as time goes by.
The measurement of ovarian reserve in women is usually carried out through a blood test where the concentration of various hormones is determined: FSH, LH, estradiol and antimullerian hormone. In addition, this hormonal profile can be completed with a count of antral follicles by transvaginal ultrasound.
If a woman's ovarian reserve is low, she will most likely have to resort to assisted reproductive techniques to achieve pregnancy.
