Realistic Expectations
- Time is critical, but it must be “quality” time: i.e. too much FSH may recruit too many cells into mural granulose, leaving fewer granulose cells to nurse the egg
- Low level of growth factors synthesis may not recruit and retain an adequate number of granulose cells
- The proportion of competent eggs varies greatly from female to female.
- Only a certain percentage of women’s eggs are competent.
- Other unknown intrinsic egg factors
