A woman's egg reserve, or ovarian reserve, is the number of eggs that remain in her ovaries and it is a critical factor in accessing her reproductive health.

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, unlike men who continuously produce new sperm all the time, women are born with a finite number of eggs. As women age, their egg reserve naturally declines, making it more challenging to conceive. This decline in egg reserve is due to a reduction in the number of eggs a woman has left in her ovaries, as well as a decrease in their quality.

 

There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding ways to increase your egg reserve. However, scientific studies have shown that there are no proven methods to increase your egg reserve.

 

Fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and egg freezing can help women with a low egg reserve conceive. However, these methods do not increase the number of eggs in your ovaries. Instead, they utilise the existing eggs.

 

While there are no guaranteed ways to increase your egg reserve, there are things you can do to improve your overall reproductive health. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and not smoking, can help support your reproductive system.

 

It's also essential to see a fertility specialist if you're having difficulty conceiving. Only a fertility doctor can evaluate your ovarian reserve and help develop a personalised treatment plan to increase your chances of getting pregnant.

 

Despite the prevalent misinformation and false beliefs surrounding methods to enhance one's egg reserve, it is important to note that it is not feasible to increase it. Your egg reserve is determined by the number of eggs you're born with and it will decline naturally as you age. However, seeking guidance from a fertility specialist can help you understand your reproductive health better and find out about the options available for you.
