Group Says Ovarian Reserve Testing May Be Beneficial For Certain Patients. Medscape (12/30, Henderson) reports that “ovarian reserve testing should be performed when women older than 35 years have not conceived after 6 months of trying and with women who are at heightened risk for diminished ovarian reserve, such as cancer survivors, according to an opinion by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists’ Committee on Gynecologic Practice.” This “opinion, published in...Obstetrics & Gynecology, also advises clinicians to let such women know that their ‘window of opportunity’ to conceive may be narrow and to encourage them to attempt to conceive ‘sooner rather than later.’” Medscape adds, “The best surrogate marker for oocyte quality, according to the authors, is age.”
