The low ovarian reserve, also called a diminished ovarian reserve, is a condition in which the capability of ovaries or their total egg cell count reduces, resulting in infertility. The ovarian reserve refers to the quality and the volume of the eggs. It is caused at the time of menopause or higher age, but it varies from person to person, causing infertility. Though any treatment cannot cure the reduction of the ovarian reserve, it is possible to get pregnant through assisted processes.
