Ovarian Reserve Testing

Understanding Your Egg Supply. Empowering Your Fertility Journey.

Fertility isn’t just about age — it’s about your ovarian reserve. At Sparsh IVF, we help you understand what’s going on inside your body through Ovarian Reserve Testing, one of the most important diagnostics in evaluating female fertility.

This simple test provides deep insight into the quantity of eggs you have left, helping us create a realistic and personalized fertility roadmap — whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or considering fertility preservation.

What Is Ovarian Reserve?

Your ovarian reserve refers to the number of eggs (oocytes) remaining in your ovaries at any given time. Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have, and this number declines naturally with age — both in quality and quantity.

However, some women may experience diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) earlier than expected, even in their 20s or early 30s. Ovarian reserve testing helps detect such issues early, so treatment can be planned proactively.

Why Is It Important?

Whether you’re undergoing IVF treatment in India, or simply want to understand your reproductive timeline, knowing your ovarian reserve allows for:

  • Predicting response to fertility treatment
  • Personalizing IVF stimulation protocols
  • Evaluating egg quality concerns
  • Assessing success rates before IUI or IVF
  • Planning egg freezing for future use
  • Diagnosing conditions like POI (Premature Ovarian Insufficiency)

At Sparsh IVF, ovarian reserve testing is a routine but vital part of the infertility workup for all women above 30 or those with irregular periods, PCOS, family history of early menopause, or prior ovarian surgery.

What Tests Are Included?

Ovarian reserve testing typically includes:

  • A blood test that measures hormone levels secreted by developing follicles.
  • Higher AMH = higher egg count.
  • AMH can be tested any day of the menstrual cycle.
  • Done via transvaginal ultrasound between Day 2–5.
  • Measures the number of small (2–9mm) follicles in both ovaries.
  • Correlates with how many eggs may be retrieved during IVF.
  • Blood tests done on Day 2 or 3 of your cycle.
  • High FSH or E2 may suggest low ovarian function or early egg depletion..

These three indicators are often used together for an accurate and holistic assessment of your egg supply.

When Should You Get Tested?

We recommend ovarian reserve testing if you:

  • Are over age 30 and trying to conceive
  • Have irregular or absent periods
  • Have been diagnosed with PCOS, endometriosis, or thyroid dysfunction
  • Have undergone chemotherapy or pelvic radiation
  • Have a family history of early menopause
  • Have had previous failed IVF or IUI cycles
  • Are planning to freeze your eggs for later use

What the Results Mean

AMH LevelInterpretation
>3.5 ng/mlHigh (may indicate PCOS or hyper-response)
1.5–3.5 ng/mlNormal range (ideal for IVF response)
0.5–1.4 ng/mlLow (may require customized protocols)
<0.5 ng/mlVery low (limited reserve or POI risk)

Your doctor will interpret these numbers alongside AFC and FSH to determine the best next steps.

Can Low Ovarian Reserve Be Treated?

While ovarian reserve cannot be increased, early diagnosis allows us to:

  • Modify stimulation protocols for better egg yield
  • Offer fertility preservation (egg or embryo freezing)
  • Use donor eggs if necessary
  • Explore mild stimulation or natural cycle IVF in select cases

At Sparsh IVF, we offer transparent, compassionate guidance for women with low reserve — helping them understand all available options.
