I’ve been trying to get pregnant since... I’m over 35 years of age I've poor ovarian reserve I'm a woman without a male partner We're a female couple trying to have children. I've the menopause

 I have poor ovarian reserve

Women are born with a fixed number of eggs which deplete throughout their lives. The speed of depletion of the reserve is different for every woman and there are no tests which can determine how long her eggs will “last”.

The age of the woman does not always coincide with the age of her ovaries. There are young women with aged ovaries.

Poor ovarian reserve is diagnosed by means of echography and analysis. When it is diagnosed, it demands rapid response with treatments. Egg donation may be resorted to where necessary.
