Scientific Ways to Improve Ovarian Reserve—Key Preparation for US and Mexico IVF

Before planning IVF or egg freezing treatment in the US or Mexico, understanding and improving ovarian reserve is a crucial step to enhance success rates. Ovarian reserve refers to the number and quality of developable follicles in the ovaries, a core factor determining female fertility potential. Although follicle numbers naturally decline with age, scientific care and proper preparation can optimize ovarian condition before entering an IVF cycle.

 

A decline in ovarian reserve means fewer follicles and lower oocyte quality, which can affect embryo development, implantation rates, and even increase the risk of premature ovarian aging. On average, a woman has only about 400 to 500 follicles that can mature and ovulate in her lifetime, and this process accelerates noticeably after age 35. Ovarian function can be assessed through several indicators:

 

Age and hormone levels are primary references, but not the only standards. Some younger women may experience early ovarian decline due to stress or lifestyle factors. Measuring AMH levels and baseline antral follicle count provides a more accurate assessment. Typically, a transvaginal ultrasound on the second day of menstruation is performed: a total antral follicle count over 10 indicates ideal ovarian function, while fewer than 5–7 suggests diminished reserve.

 

While natural ovarian decline cannot be reversed, lifestyle improvements can significantly slow the process. Balanced nutrition is fundamental—high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, folic acid, vitamins E and C, and trace elements such as zinc and selenium are vital for oocyte repair and antioxidation. Combining a healthy diet with moderate exercise improves blood circulation and the ovarian microenvironment.

 

Weight management is also key. Obesity can cause insulin resistance and hormonal imbalance, while being underweight may suppress ovulation. Maintaining a healthy body fat percentage helps stabilize hormones and supports follicle maturation. Proper sleep and rest allow the ovaries to “recover,” while chronic stress or depression can disrupt endocrine function and weaken follicular response.

 

For women preparing for IVF or egg freezing in the US or Mexico, a 3–6 month period of physical preparation is an effective strategy to optimize ovarian response, increase oocyte yield, and improve embryo quality. Integrating scientific nutrition, regular exercise, and stress management lays a solid foundation before starting IVF-PGT.
