what causes low ovarian reserve
Low ovarian reserve is a premature decrease in the number of eggs and can be caused by chromosomal anomalies such as Turner Syndrome, where the woman does not have two X chromosomes, or gene abnormalities such as Fragile X.
Ovarian reserve is the pool of eggs present in the ovaries at any given time. Low ovarian reserve is when there is a physiological decrease in the number of eggs, resulting in an insufficient number to ensure a reasonable chance of pregnancy. Generally, it is caused by aging ovaries. However, it is possible for a patient to have diminished ovarian reserve but intact ovarian function.
