Ovarian reserve means number and quality of follicles within ovary. It has nothing to do with when a child bearing women begins and ends her periods. Understanding and calculating ovarian reserve can be used to forecast the probability of conception in infertile women. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), inhibin B and estradiol are a collection of biomarkers that are helpful in estimating the ovarian reserve. A reduction in the number of ovarian follicles in females of childbearing age is considered as impaired ovarian reserve. This article's primary objective is to discuss the significance of each biomarker in determining ovarian reserve and predicting the chances that infertile women of reproductive age will become pregnant.
