Diminished Ovarian Reserve

Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) at Best Life Fertility Centre

When Egg Quantity Declines—Hope and Options Still Remain

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:

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:

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.

Each option is discussed openly and honestly—so you feel empowered, never pressured.

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.
