What are the symptoms of a low ovarian reserve?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 06/11/2026

Unless the woman is trying to conceive or undergoing a fertility study, she will not feel any discomfort that would make her suspect her ovarian reserve is low.

If the woman has a hormonal blood test and the values of anti-Müllerian hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are determined, then she will be able to know the status of her ovarian reserve.

However, those women with premature ovarian failure and/or a highly compromised ovarian reserve may indeed present with irregular menstrual cycles, including the absence of menstruation.
