Antral Follicle Count (AFC): Understanding Your Ovarian Reserve
The Antral Follicle Count (AFC) is a pivotal assessment for understanding a woman’s ovarian reserve, playing a vital role in fertility planning and treatment. This ultrasound-based test evaluates the number of small, fluid-filled follicles in the ovaries that can potentially develop into eggs.
Why Is AFC Important?
AFC provides a clear picture of your fertility health, helping to predict your response to fertility treatments like IVF. It’s a key indicator used by specialists to tailor personalized treatment plans. Whether you’re planning for conception now or in the future, AFC empowers informed decision-making.
The Procedure
The test is a quick and painless transvaginal ultrasound conducted during the early days of your menstrual cycle. It gives immediate insights into the quantity of follicles present, assisting in determining the best course of action for your reproductive journey.
Who Should Consider AFC?
Women experiencing difficulty conceiving, those considering egg freezing, or anyone interested in understanding their fertility potential may benefit from this test.
Your Path to Clarity
With an accurate AFC, you can confidently take the next step toward your goals, supported by cutting-edge reproductive health evaluations.
