ovarian reserve
Remaining fertility potential
Ovarian reserve is a measure of a woman's remaining egg supply and reproductive potential.
The term appears in fertility medicine, where tests like AMH levels and antral follicle counts help assess it: Her doctor said her ovarian reserve was low for her age.
A diminished ovarian reserve suggests fewer eggs remain, which can affect chances of conception.
