Understanding your fertility is a key step in planning for the future.
An Ovarian Reserve Test (ORT) offers valuable insights into your fertility by assessing your egg count and hormone levels, crucial factors in your journey to parenthood.
The ORT is a fundamental assessment in the fertility journey for women. It gauges the quantity of eggs you have, providing a snapshot of your potential fertility. Since women are born with their lifetime supply of eggs, knowing your ovarian reserve can be incredibly insightful, especially before starting fertility treatments.
The process involves an internal ultrasound scan to show the ‘fluid filled sacs’ known as follicles, each potentially housing an egg, in your ovaries. Alongside this, we conduct blood tests to measure fertility indicators such as oestradiol (E2), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). These tests together offer a comprehensive view of your fertility health.
An ORT is often among the first steps recommended by our consultants to help map out your fertility outlook. For the most accurate results, this test should be done early in your menstrual cycle. It’s also advisable for individuals who have a medical condition that might impact their fertility.
With the knowledge from your ORT, you’re better placed to make informed decisions about your fertility options. Depending on the outcomes, various paths, including IVF, might be suggested to align with your family planning goals.
