Resting follicle count, often called antral follicle count, is a method used to assess ovarian reserve.

An adult female has her entire lifetime supply of eggs in her body from birth. In both number and quality, a woman’s egg supply naturally declines with age.

It is possible to estimate a woman’s remaining egg supply by calculating the numbers of antral follicles in her ovaries. To put it simply, the antral follicle is indeed a fluid-filled bag that contains a developing egg. The AFC count is equal to the number of viable follicles.

Because AFC does not assess ovarian reserve, it cannot foretell the likelihood of a future spontaneous pregnancy.
