Female Fertility & Ovarian Reserve Assessment
Blood tests and a scan show how your ovaries are working and roughly how many eggs remain, so you can plan your next step with more confidence.
Fertility Assessment
Understanding your egg supply and how your ovaries are working
Ovarian reserve means the number of eggs left in your ovaries. It falls with age, but at different rates for different women. This assessment uses an AMH blood test and an ultrasound count of follicles (small fluid sacs that each hold an egg).
A low number can be worrying to read. It does not tell you whether you can get pregnant this month, but it does help with planning.
Dr Jasdev explains your results alongside your age and health, including what they can and cannot predict.
A plan that starts with your results
Your age, history, test results and goals are reviewed before any treatment is suggested.
Clear reasons for each step
You will know why a test or medicine is recommended, what it can do and where its limits are.
Care that stays connected
Reviews are planned around how you respond, your cycle timing and your next decision.
What this assessment gives you
- A realistic picture of your egg supply for your age
- Guidance on timing, whether trying naturally or planning treatment
- Information that helps set medicine doses if IVF is needed
How your care is planned
Every stage answers three questions: what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next. The plan is reviewed at each stage and adjusted when needed.
Review your cycles, age and any earlier results
Arrange AMH and hormone tests with a pelvic ultrasound
Explain the findings and what they mean for your plans
What the tests measure
AMH is a hormone made by developing eggs, so it gives an estimate of how many remain. An antral follicle count uses an internal scan to count small follicles in each ovary. Other hormone tests, such as FSH, may be done early in your cycle. Together they give a clearer picture than any single result.
Who may find this helpful
It can help women who are trying to conceive, those thinking about egg freezing and those planning IVF. It is also useful after ovarian surgery or chemotherapy, or if there is a family history of early menopause.
What to expect
After a conversation about your health and plans, blood tests and a scan are arranged, often early in your cycle. The scan takes a few minutes. At your review, the numbers are explained in plain language and a sensible next step is suggested.
How Dr Jasdev works with you
He brings together experience in fertility and gynaecology, and he explains things in plain language. Advice is based on current evidence and on what matters to you. You will always know what the next step is and why it has been suggested. He sees couples from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, as well as some who travel from neighbouring countries.
What to bring to your appointment
Your records help Dr Jasdev understand your history quickly, so more of the visit can go to your questions. If you cannot find everything, bring what you have.
- Any previous AMH, FSH or scan results
- Dates of your last few periods
- Details of any ovarian surgery or cancer treatment
What women often want to know about egg reserve
Most couples arrive with several questions. These common ones can help you plan what to ask.
Is my AMH normal for my age?
Does a low result mean I cannot get pregnant naturally?
Should I think about egg freezing now?
How often should the test be repeated?
Your questions about egg reserve testing
What is ovarian reserve testing?
It estimates how many eggs you have left, using an AMH blood test and an ultrasound follicle count. It helps with planning but does not measure egg quality.
Who should consider it?
Women trying to conceive, those thinking about egg freezing or IVF, and those who have had ovarian surgery or treatment that may affect the ovaries.
What tests are involved?
Usually an AMH blood test, an internal pelvic ultrasound and sometimes other hormone tests early in your cycle. Recent results from elsewhere can often be used.
Is it painful or risky?
The blood test is a quick needle. The internal scan may feel slightly uncomfortable but should not hurt, and you can ask to stop at any time. There are no significant risks.
Why see Dr Jasdev for this?
He explains what your numbers mean in context, rather than as a single figure, and links them to practical choices about timing and treatment.
How do I book?
Call or WhatsApp the clinic. Mention the first day of your last period, as some tests are done early in the cycle.
This page is general information and does not replace a consultation. Whether a treatment suits you, and its risks and timing, should be discussed with Dr Jasdev based on your own history.
