Egg Quality vs Egg Quantity

In this episode, Dr. David Barad discusses the key differences between egg quality and egg quantity, specifically for women trying to conceive in their 40s. He breaks down how egg quantity refers to the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries, while egg quality relates to the genetic health of those eggs. Dr. Barad also discusses how these changes can affect fertility, miscarriage risk, and IVF treatment protocols. This episode provides a clear, science-backed explanation to help women better understand their reproductive health.Brought to you by the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR) on the Upper East Side of New York City.
