Egg quantity, egg quality and ovarian reserve
An explanation of what ovarian reserve testing does and does not tell you, including the difference between the number of eggs available and the quality of those eggs.
Useful before or after AMH and antral follicle count testing.
AMH and antral follicle count give an indication of how many eggs may respond to stimulation. They do not directly measure egg quality, and on their own they do not predict whether you will conceive naturally.
Key takeaways
- Ovarian reserve tests indicate likely response to stimulation, not egg quality.
- AMH alone does not predict natural conception.
- Results are interpreted alongside age, history and other tests.
