Interpreting antral follicle count

INTERPRETING ANTRAL FOLLICLE COUNT

When viewing the follicles on an ultrasound, the results can be subjective. Generally, an antral follicle count of fewer than 6 indicates low ovarian reserve. The optimal number of follicles depends on age, but an antral follicle count of approximately 8-12 resting follicles signifies a good chance for a successful pregnancy. If the sonogram reveals a low antral follicle count, Dr. Rispler will review the options and map out an individualized treatment strategy for you.

Don’t let the struggles of infertility hamper your dreams of parenthood.
