Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) at Best Life Fertility Centre

When Egg Quantity Declines, Hope and Options Still Remain

bestivf

Every woman is born with a limited number of eggs. Over time, that reserve naturally declines, but for some, it happens earlier or more rapidly than expected. This condition is called Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), and it can affect fertility long before menopause begins.

At Best Life Fertility Centre, we specialize in identifying and managing DOR with compassion, urgency, and advanced reproductive care. If you’ve been told your ovarian reserve is low, or you suspect it might be, we’re here to support your next steps with clarity and confidence.

What Is Diminished Ovarian Reserve?

DOR refers to a lower number or quality of eggs in the ovaries, which can reduce a woman’s ability to conceive naturally. It can occur due to age, genetics, medical conditions, or unknown reasons, even in women under 35.

Common signs of DOR include:

Difficulty conceiving despite regular cycles

Shorter menstrual cycles (less than 25 days)

Poor response to fertility medications

History of ovarian surgery, chemotherapy, or endometriosis

How We Diagnose It

Early and accurate diagnosis is key. At Best Life Fertility Centre, we use the most reliable fertility tests to assess ovarian reserve, including:

  • AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) blood test: Reflects the number of remaining follicles.

  • Antral Follicle Count (AFC) via transvaginal ultrasound.

  • FSH and Estradiol levels on day 2 or 3 of your cycle.

These tests help us understand your egg quantity and tailor a fertility plan that matches your biological timeline.

Treatment Options for DOR

While DOR can make conception more challenging, many women with this diagnosis still go on to have healthy pregnancies—with the right strategy and support. Our treatment approach may include:
  • Mild Stimulation IVF: Gentle stimulation protocols designed to retrieve fewer but higher-quality eggs, reducing stress on the ovaries.
  • Natural Cycle IVF: For women who don’t respond well to medications, we may retrieve a single naturally matured egg during your cycle.
  • Egg Freezing: If you’re not ready to conceive yet, fertility preservation may be an option—especially if DOR is diagnosed early.
  • Donor Eggs: For advanced cases, donor egg IVF offers excellent success rates and a reliable path to parenthood.

Time Matters—But So Does Trust

Your plan may include:

With DOR, time is a critical factor. But that doesn’t mean you need to rush into decisions alone. Our team is here to guide you with transparency, empathy, and clinical excellence, ensuring every choice you make is supported by science and care.
