The fertility of a woman greatly relies on the quantity and quality of her eggs. As women get older, the ovarian reserve also becomes lower, thus making it difficult to conceive. Ovarian Reserve Tests (ORT) are used to evaluate egg supply and determine how well a woman will respond to fertility treatments such as IVF at Mannat Fertility.

The tests are helpful to women who are facing a problem conceiving and to those who have failed to conceive after continuous IVF treatments, or to patients who intend to postpone pregnancy and wish to determine their reproductive ability.

What Is an Ovarian Reserve Test?

An Ovarian Reserve Test (ORT) is done to test how well your ovaries are at producing fertile eggs that can be fertilised. As opposed to a regular health test, ORT examines explicitly the levels of the hormones and the functioning of the ovaries in a bid to assess fertility.

The tests provide fertility experts with a better image of:

  • Egg quantity (how many eggs are remaining).
  • The quality of eggs (the likelihood of yielding viable embryos).
  • The way the ovaries will react to fertility drugs.

Your ovarian reserve will give doctors an idea of how to personalise your IVF protocol, and this raises your chances of success.
