If you’ve been told you have low ovarian reserve, you might feel like your options for having a baby are limited. But thanks to advancements in reproductive medicine, there’s a new approach that’s giving hope to many women: Ovarian PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy. This innovative treatment is designed to help improve ovarian function and potentially boost fertility, offering a new path for those struggling with egg quality and quantity.
What is Ovarian PRP Therapy?
Ovarian PRP Therapy involves using your own body’s natural healing abilities to rejuvenate your ovaries. The process starts with a simple blood draw, just like a regular blood test. Your blood is then processed to extract platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a substance full of growth factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration.
How Can PRP Help with Low Ovarian Reserve?
Low ovarian reserve means you have fewer eggs than expected for your age, which can make getting pregnant more difficult. Many women in this situation are told their best option is using donor eggs, but PRP Therapy offers another possibility. The growth factors in PRP may help:
- Reawaken ovarian function – Encouraging the ovaries to produce more eggs.
- Improve egg quality – Healthier eggs mean better chances of fertilisation and pregnancy.
- Balance hormones – PRP may support better estrogen levels and menstrual cycle regularity.
Who Might Benefit from Ovarian PRP?
PRP Therapy could be an option if you:
- Have been diagnosed with low ovarian reserve (low AMH, high FSH levels).
- Have experienced early signs of ovarian aging.
- Have had unsuccessful IVF cycles due to poor ovarian response.
- Want to explore options before considering donor eggs.
While research is ongoing, early results are promising, and many women are choosing PRP as a potential alternative to traditional fertility treatments.
What is the Procedure Like?
The process is straightforward and usually takes less than an hour:
- Blood draw – A small sample of your blood is taken.
- PRP preparation – The platelets are separated and concentrated.
- Ovarian injection – Using a transvaginal ultrasound, the PRP is gently injected into the ovaries.
Most women feel fine afterward and can return to normal activities the same day.
