Egg quality is affected by genetics. Factors such as chromosomal abnormalities or mutations can affect egg health and development. Genetic influences are related to egg quality and may cause a higher risk of miscarriages and aneuploid embryos, meaning they will have chromosomal disorders, especially as the woman ages.
In some instances yes, you might have a genetic predisposition to just making crappy eggs for a wonderful better term and there’s nothing you can do about that. You don’t know that until you make some of the dietary and lifestyle changes to see if that has an impact. I recommend everybody do that before they start any kind of IVF – so that when they present those raw materials to the lab, they’re the best they can be.
Is it connected with genetics? Yes, it definitely can be but does it then go on to pass on genetic problems to the baby?Really – probably not.
Some genetic diseases can impact the quality of the eggs and the number of eggs that are available in the ovaries and as a result women that may have that particular genetic disease could end up not producing enough eggs or producing eggs that are of poorer quality.
