Personalized treatment for patients with diminished ovarian reserve.
Diminished ovarian reserve refers to a condition where the number of remaining follicles in the ovaries is lower than expected for the age,
or the ovarian response to stimulation in fertility treatment is expected to be low.
A low ovarian function test result alone cannot determine the possibility of natural conception.
It is important to consider age, menstrual history, ovarian reserve tests, and other infertility factors together.
Not all women need ovarian function testing.
Testing may be considered when preparing for pregnancy or when risk factors for diminished ovarian reserve are present.
Ovarian reserve and fertility naturally change with increasing age.
Surgeries for ovarian cysts or endometriosis may affect ovarian reserve.
Family history is one factor considered when evaluating ovarian function.
Fertility preservation counseling may be considered before treatments that can affect ovarian function.
If fewer follicles grew than expected during IVF, ovarian reserve can be reassessed.

We evaluate current ovarian reserve through AMH testing, antral follicle count (AFC) ultrasound, and basal hormone tests when needed.
There is no established treatment to increase remaining follicles or restore ovarian reserve. Therefore, we plan how to utilize remaining ovarian function by considering age, ovarian function tests, infertility duration, and other factors.
If ovulation is occurring and other conditions like tubal patency and semen analysis are favorable, natural conception can be attempted, or ovulation induction and IUI may be considered. Ovarian function test values alone do not determine natural conception possibilities.
IVF may be selected considering age, infertility duration, ovarian reserve, and previous stimulation response. AMH and AFC help predict the number of eggs retrievable after ovarian stimulation, and low values alone do not limit IVF treatment possibilities.
If you are not currently planning pregnancy but are concerned about age or declining ovarian function, egg freezing may be considered after evaluating current ovarian reserve and expected response. The number of storable eggs and future pregnancy outcomes may vary by age and individual condition.

AMH is useful for predicting the amount of remaining follicles and ovarian stimulation response. However, it is not a standalone test for determining natural conception possibilities. Age, ovulation status, tubal condition, and male factors must also be considered.
They are not the same. Diminished ovarian reserve means a reduced number of remaining follicles, while menstruation and ovulation may still be maintained. Premature ovarian failure is a separate clinical condition where ovarian function decline and menstrual abnormalities occur before age 40.
There is no established method to increase the number of remaining follicles and restore ovarian reserve. Rather than trying to raise test values, it is more important to determine appropriate treatment timing based on current ovarian function, age, and pregnancy plans.
If you plan to conceive in the future but are not ready now, fertility preservation options like egg freezing can be discussed after assessing ovarian reserve and age. The number of retrievable eggs and outcomes may vary by individual.
