Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test: Measures the level of FSH on the third day of the menstrual cycle. Elevated levels may indicate diminished ovarian reserve.

Antral Follicle Count (AFC): Ultrasound is used to count the number of small follicles in the ovaries, providing an estimate of the remaining egg supply.
