Ovarian Reserve

        Female age is very important in consideration of probability for conception because it is very much related

to egg quality. Egg quantity - also referred to as ovarian reserve - is the number of eggs a woman has

remaining for use in the future. In general, egg quantity is also closely related to age, but can also vary

dramatically at any age. There are tests of ovarian reserve that are done by fertility specialists that help

estimate how good a woman's remaining egg supply is.

Antral follicle counts on ultrasound and Day 3 FSH (follicle stimulation hormone) and estradiol testing are the best and most commonly utilized tests of ovarian reserve.

Patients often say: "My eggs are fine, I don't think I need any testing for that." When asked how they know that the eggs are fine, the most common answers are either; "Because I get my period every month." - or - "Because my gynecologist said that my eggs are fine." However, the gynecologist has not performed any tests of ovarian reserve, so he or she is giving the patient information that is based on an assumption and not based on any real data, or perhaps the patient and the gynecologist did not communicate well and there was a misunderstanding about the "egg issue".


    A 45 year old can have good quality eggs (for her age) and still possibly be fertile, although this is pretty rare.

At the other extreme, a 25 year old can have very poor quality eggs and be infertile (also rare) - unless she uses

donor eggs. These are extreme examples, but the point is that egg quantity and quality declines significantly as

women age. This process usually begins in the early to mid 30s and accelerates beginning (usually) at about

37-38 years of age.

    Egg quantity and quality  in an individual woman can be average for her age, better than average, or worse

than average.  When women are trying to get pregnant on their own (yes, fertility doctors do approve of having a

sex life and getting pregnant without their assistance) a limiting factor will sometimes be her egg quality. What

that means is that she may have regular monthly menstrual cycles and have sex with her man on the perfect day

for sperm and egg to have a date together.
