Can eggs be rejuvenated?

It is well known that time affects the quality of our eggs and that their number naturally decreases. This process accelerates from the age of 35 and the mechanism behind it is not yet clear. However, it is thought that individual genetic factors may influence this, since not all women have the same quality of ovarian reserve and do not start menopause at the same time. For this reason, some researchers are trying to find out how to speed up or delay this process by studying possible genetic alterations, while others are trying to find out whether it is...

Success rates in assisted reproduction treatment: What are they and what do they mean?

Success rates are percentages that show the chances of getting a pregnancy offered by different assisted reproduction treatments.

Fertility: 5 reasons to get a check-up

If motherhood is not in your short-term plans, it is likely that you have not considered having any check-ups. Not even if you have it in mind unless you have had a problem. This is normal, as most of us take it for granted that we are fertile from the moment our period first comes. But having a period is not a guarantee that our reproductive system works well. In fact, the only way to know for sure is to have a fertility test, something that no one considers unless instructed by an expert. However, there are many factors...
