Ep. 7 – Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR)

We’re rejoined with Dr. Peter Ahlering of MCRM Fertility. Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) or Low Ovarian Reserve is the largest diagnoses related to female fertility factor and assisted reproductive technology (ART) per the most recent 2015 CDC National ART Summary Report. As women age, the natural occurring “Biological Clock” ticks resulting in known lower fertility potential; however, for tens of thousands of women who are only in their twenties and early thirties, they live, unknowingly, with their “Biological Clock” ticking faster than normal leading to early onset DOR. What can one do if they are diagnosed with DOR and how can one avoid the surprise of learning of this diagnoses at an earlier age relative to normal? These questions and more will be answered within this episode.
