Summary
Ovarian reserve refers to the number and quality of oocytes present in the ovaries of a woman at a given time and is thought to reflect her ability to respond adequately to ovarian stimulation [1;2]. The term was developed in the context of assisted reproduction to differentiate between poor, normal, and hyper-responders to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). Although the term is also applicable to anovulatory women treated for infertility with ovarian stimulation, it is mainly used to describe women receiving COS as a part of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) stimulation protocol.
