🩺 What Is Low Ovarian Reserve?
Low ovarian reserve refers to a reduced number of available oocytes (eggs) in a woman’s ovaries at any given time, which limits how many eggs can be retrieved for IVF or fertility preservation. Women are born with a finite number of eggs and as time passes these diminish, when the reserve falls below age‐expected norms it is classified as diminished or low ovarian reserve. This condition can impair response to ovarian stimulation and reduce pregnancy chances unless specialized protocols are applied.
At a center like Memorial Hospital Turkey, specialists use advanced testing such as AMH and antral follicle count to accurately assess your reserve and then tailor stimulation protocols specifically for your unique biology. With the right strategy, even women with low reserve can optimize their outcomes and feel empowered in their fertility journey.
🩺 Types of Low Ovarian Reserve Management
- Standard Ovarian Stimulation Protocols – Higher-dose or tailored protocols to recruit as many follicles as possible.
- Soft or Gentle Stimulation Protocols – Lower hormone doses with fewer side-effects for sensitive patients.
- Luteal Phase Stimulation – Stimulating the ovaries in the luteal phase to increase egg yield in poor responders.
- Accumulation of Vitrified Oocytes – Multiple cycles of egg collection and freezing to build up egg bank.
- Adjunctive Therapies (e.g., PRP Ovarian Rejuvenation) – Emerging techniques such as platelet-rich plasma injections to the ovary to improve response.
