When one ovary has lots of eggs, the other very few

[Anonymous]

What does it mean when one ovary has lots of eggs (like 10) and the other ovary has few (like 3)? My AFC ultrasound showed this. I didn't think to ask the Dr. what exactly that meant. Anyone else have that? Does it mean one ovary is less effective?

This is in the natural state, by the way, before infertility treatment.

It's common for women to have one ovary that produces a lot more than the other. Or by "common" I at least mean I've seen other women posting about it before, and it was true for me. Yes, I would imagine it means one is less effective. But as long as you get a good number of follicles during your cycle, it doesn't really matter which side they come from. You could have a good IVF cycle with one ovary if it were producing.

My last ivf we had 12 retrieved from my left ovary and one from the right after 14 days of stims. It happens. It also proved my infertility diagnosis because my left tube is blocked but my right is open. My basically 9/10 naturally the left is ovulating and nothing gets going.

If it makes you feel any better, I only have one ovary and still managed to have two kids, both after 40.
