Shownotes

In this episode, we dive deep into diminished ovarian reserve, exploring why a premature drop in a woman's egg supply disrupts fertility. We break down the underlying shift in ovarian biology, including how falling anti-mullerian hormone and inhibin-B levels signal the brain to pump out more follicle-stimulating hormone. You will learn about the cellular changes affecting egg quality, the main diagnostic tools clinicians use like antral follicle counts, and how this condition differs from total ovarian failure.
