Pregnancy: The Role Of Assisted Reproductive Technology In Surmounting Poor Egg Quality
Infertility, frequent miscarriages, and irregular menstrual periods are all symptoms of poor egg quality, which refers to eggs that are unable to fertilise and develop into a healthy embryo.
Poor egg quality is a major cause of female infertility and is frequently linked to age, genetics, hormonal imbalances, and environmental factors.
As women age, egg quality can decline, potentially resulting in chromosomal abnormalities that affect pregnancy success. Addressing poor egg quality involves lifestyle changes, supplements, advanced reproductive technologies like IVF with genetic testing, and sometimes egg donation.
Seeking expert medical guidance is essential to navigate this complex aspect of fertility.

A developing egg is called an oocyte. It is important to define Oocytes before explaining how their quality relates to Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and Assisted reproductive technology (ART). Specifically, an oocyte is an immature egg cell of the animal’s ovary.
The common name for an oocyte is egg cell. In humans, one oocyte matures during the menstrual cycle, becoming an ootid and then an ovum, while several others partially mature and then disintegrate.
According to experts in Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are any fertility-related treatments in which eggs or embryos are manipulated. Procedures where only sperm are manipulated, such as intrauterine inseminations, are not considered under this definition.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a condition where you have few, unusual, or very long periods. Some experts define it as a hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges.
