An Antral Follicle Count (AFC) scan is a specialised ultrasound that counts the small follicles in your ovaries.
It helps provide an indication of your ovarian reserve and how your ovaries may respond to fertility treatment.
The scan is usually performed with a transvaginal ultrasound and examines both ovaries. Your results can then be discussed with a fertility specialist.
As the trusted fertility clinic in London, we make your AFC scan simple, comfortable, and informative.
Our fertility team provides clear results and personalised guidance based on your needs.

Our goal is to help you understand your ovarian reserve and make confident decisions about your fertility.
An AFC scan counts the small antral follicles in your ovaries to provide useful insight into your ovarian reserve.
During the scan, our fertility specialist checks both ovaries, counts the visible follicles, and looks for any findings that may be relevant to your fertility.
Your AFC results can also help guide IVF and fertility treatment planning.
However, the count is only one part of a complete fertility assessment and should always be considered alongside your age, medical history, and other test results.
Our AFC scan process is designed to be straightforward to understand.

Your AFC scan is usually performed using a transvaginal ultrasound to create clear images of your ovaries. The specialist examines both ovaries and identifies the visible antral follicles.
The specialist counts the visible antral follicles in each ovary to determine your overall AFC. The scan may also identify other ovarian findings that could be relevant to your fertility.
Your AFC results are explained clearly, including what they may indicate about your ovarian reserve. Your specialist can also discuss any further tests or fertility treatment options that may be appropriate.
At our IVF clinic in London, we use your AFC result as one part of your overall fertility assessment.
It can provide useful information about your ovarian reserve, but it does not confirm fertility or infertility on its own.
AFC Level | What It May Mean | Fertility Planning |
Lower | Fewer visible follicles | May suggest lower ovarian reserve |
Typical | Moderate follicle count | May indicate an expected ovarian reserve |
Higher | More visible follicles | May indicate a stronger response to stimulation |
A higher AFC is not always better. It can sometimes be associated with PCOS and a stronger response to fertility medication.
Our IVF specialists consider your AFC alongside your age, AMH level and fertility history before recommending your next steps.
