Egg Quality

Egg quality can be defined as the presence of genetically normal or abnormal eggs. Egg quality varies largely with a woman’s reproductive age. With advancing age, the risk for chromosomal (or genetic) abnormalities increases and the egg quality becomes poor. Egg quality is one of the most important factors that determine the success of any infertility treatment. Good-quality eggs are capable of being fertilized and producing a healthy embryo. Women with poor-quality eggs have a hard time getting pregnant.
