Understanding ovarian reserve and Rejuvenation: A guide

Understanding ovarian reserve and Rejuvenation: A guide

As women age, their ovarian reserve – the number of eggs available for fertilization – naturally declines. This decline affects fertility and increases the risk of age-related reproductive issues. In this blog, we’ll explore ovarian reserve, its relation to age, and rejuvenation options.

What is ovarian reserve?

Ovarian reserve refers to the number and quality of eggs in the ovaries. Women are born with a finite number of eggs, which decline with age. Think of it like a bank account – you’re born with a certain number of eggs, and you can’t add more.

How is ovarian reserve measured?

Ovarian reserve is assessed through:

  • AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) levels: AMH is produced by ovarian follicles; lower levels indicate reduced ovarian reserve.

  • AFC (Antral Follicle Count): Ultrasound measures the number of antral follicles in the ovaries.

  • FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) levels: Elevated FSH levels may indicate reduced ovarian reserve.

Age and Ovarian reserve

Ovarian reserve declines with age, especially after 35. This decline accelerates around 37-38, with significant drops by 40-42.

Why does ovarian reserve matter?

Ovarian reserve affects fertility and reproductive health. Low ovarian reserve can lead to:

  • Infertility: Reduced chances of natural conception.
  • Miscarriage: Increased risk of miscarriage.
  • IVF success rates: Lower success rates with IVF.

Who benefits from ovarian rejuvenation?

Ovarian rejuvenation, including treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, can benefit women:

  • Advanced maternal age (35+): Women with declining ovarian reserve due to age.

  • Poor ovarian responders: Women with low ovarian reserve or poor response to fertility treatments.

  • Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI): Women experiencing early menopause or reduced ovarian function.

  • Cancer survivors: Women who’ve undergone chemotherapy or radiation, impacting ovarian function.

Ovarian rejuvenation options

  • How it works: PRP is injected into the ovaries, stimulating cellular repair and regeneration.

  • Benefits: Improves egg quality, increases chances of conception.
  • Stem cell therapy: Research is ongoing, but shows promise in regenerating ovarian tissue.
  • Hormone therapy: Regulates hormonal imbalances, supporting ovarian function.

    While ovarian reserve cannot be increased naturally, healthy lifestyle changes such as balanced nutrition, stress reduction, quitting smoking, and maintaining optimal weight may help protect egg quality.

    No. A low AMH indicates reduced egg quantity, not zero fertility. Many women with low AMH still conceive naturally or with assisted reproductive techniques.

    Not always. Eligibility depends on age, hormone levels, overall health, and reproductive history. A fertility specialist’s evaluation is essential.

    Results vary among individuals. Some women may see hormonal or follicular changes within 2–3 months, while others may need longer monitoring.

    Ovarian rejuvenation is not designed to delay menopause but may temporarily improve ovarian function and hormone production in selected patients.

    Yes. Repeat testing may be advised to monitor changes over time or to assess response to treatments, as hormone levels can fluctuate.
