There are several ways to find out the status of a woman's ovarian reserve and whether it is in optimal condition. The most recommendable is to go to a gynecologist specialized in fertility and perform an ultrasound and blood test.

By means of the ultrasound, which should be done at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, an antral follicle count (AFC) can be done. There are also a number of biochemical markers that can be determined by a blood hormone analysis: FSH, antimullerian, B-inhibin, estradiol, etc.
