Advanced Maternal Age and its Impact on Egg Quality in IVF

Kleii ​​Nysio*

In this area of ​​Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has transformed the environment of fertility treatments, giving hope to couples facing difficulties in conceiving. However, one of the serious challenges found in the IVF journey is poor egg quality, a factor that considerably influences the success of the procedure. Egg quality is a key determinant in the success of IVF, as it directly influences fertilization, embryo development, and implantation. The term "egg quality" refers to the health and capability of an egg, which is fundamental for the formation of a healthy embryo. High quality eggs have the potential to undergo successful fertilization, division into a blastocyst, and subsequent implantation in the uterus. Poor egg quality can delay these processes, leading to failed fertilization, developmental abnormalities, or early pregnancy loss.
