Ovarian volume

Hello ladies,

I haven't posted for along time as I needed a break from everything IF related.  But I'm back with a quick question as I can't seem to find any definitive answers via Google.

I've read that ovarian volume is one of the major indicators of ovarian reserve. Average volume for women in their 30s is about 6cc.  The smaller the ovaries, the smaller the reserve.  Well my measurements came back as 3cc for the left and 11cc for the right.  So basically my left ovary is that of a woman 50+ and my right is that of young 20somethng.  My question is if the small size of my left ovary is a big deal OR whether they take an average (which would be 7cc's and okay)?  We're on a break from seeing our RE and won't be back until January.  I will definitely ask her then, but just wondered if anyone had any answers.  (BTW - all bloodwork, including FSH was normal).

I don't know anything about ovarian volume (actually asked a question earlier about it), but are you sure those measurements are all right? I would think that if one of your ovaries had really small measurements that your RE would have mentioned it. Was he concerned? If your FSH/E2/AFC/AMH were normal, I would not worry. Maybe call the nurse to clarify?

Thanks Patchen.  Yes, those are the numbers.  They are actually from Feb of last year and I was just going through my results again from my transvag ultrasound.  The summary at the bottem says 'normal examination', but this seems very strange to me.  Will definitely be calling my nurse!
