Another egg question! Since we all have children and are not infertility patients for the most part, it is somewhat shocking that IVF is not simple for us. I know many of us are AMA by the time we get around to taking measures like IVF for a girl or boy so that has made me wonder about age and egg quality.
If you are given eggs from a 28 year old and a 40 year old, can you visibly tell a difference?
Like smokers I read on your blog that you can tell(which I cannot believe anyone that is doing IVF for any reason still smokes- husband or wife!) that they are smokers' eggs.
Can you SEE age on eggs? If so, does a protocol change ever help the situation? I assume it does because we have certainly seen people cycle more than once and succeed with a protocol change, etc.
Just curious about egg quality/looks and age and IVF success and sometimes lack of for us "fertile" gals!!
