If you’ve been trying to conceive without success, you may have come across the term diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). This condition refers to a lower-than-normal number or quality of eggs in a woman’s ovaries, often due to age, genetics, or other medical factors. While it’s a natural part of aging, some women experience diminished ovarian reserve earlier in life, making conception more challenging. Importantly, DOR doesn’t mean that pregnancy is impossible—it simply means that time and support are key factors in building your family. Here’s a short video where one of CFI’s patients talks about diminished ovarian reserve.
