The decline in fecundity with female age is a well-known phenomenon for clinicians dealing with subfertility patients. Diminishing ovarian reserve seems to be the reason for declining fecundity. Since age is only a rough estimate of ovarian reserve, many tests have been developed to predict ovarian reserve more precisely. This review focuses on these ovarian reserve tests and their clinical role in predicting response to ovarian stimulation and pregnancy chances.
