Navigating Low Ovarian Reserve: What It Really Means
Low ovarian reserve (LOR) essentially means the "egg timer" is moving faster than we’d like, resulting in a lower quantity of eggs. While this can feel like a race against time, understanding the why helps us create a better "how."
Common factors contributing to LOR include:
- Natural Aging: The most common factor affecting egg quantity and quality.
- Medical History: Previous ovarian surgeries or conditions like Endometriosis.
- Genetics & Lifestyle: Underlying genetic predispositions or environmental factors.
- Past Treatments: Effects from chemotherapy or radiation.
Why Fertility Preservation After a Failed Cycle?
A failed IVF cycle is more than just a medical result; it’s a data point that tells us how your body responds. Instead of repeating the same process, we use those insights to pivot.
Fertility preservation (freezing eggs or embryos) after a setback allows you to:
- Bank for the Future: Collect the best quality eggs/embryos over multiple "mini-cycles."
- Reduce Stress: Taking the pressure off a single "perfect" cycle.
- Improve Quality: Using modified protocols to prioritize egg health over sheer quantity.
The Vriksh Advantage: Strategic Care
At Vriksh Fertility Centre, we don't believe in "one size fits all" medicine. We specialize in advanced strategies designed specifically for difficult cases:
- Mild Stimulation Protocols: Sometimes, "less is more." We use gentler medications to produce higher-quality eggs without overtaxing your system.
- Embryo Banking: By freezing embryos from multiple cycles, we increase your cumulative success rate before moving to the transfer stage.
- PGT-A (Genetic Testing): We ensure that the embryos we preserve are chromosomally healthy, significantly reducing the risk of miscarriage.
- Tailored Lab Technology: Our advanced incubation systems provide the stable environment needed for delicate eggs to thrive.

Fertility is as much an emotional journey as a physical one. We know that after a failed cycle, your confidence might be shaken. Our team provides compassionate counseling to help you process the grief of a loss and find the clarity needed to make the next best decision for your future.
