EP75: WTF Appt. Scenario 2: Fertilization failure – Now what?!
Description
Welcome back superhumans and thank you for joining us. Today we're diving into a topic that is often overlooked, but really important: fertilization failure during an IVF cycle. The WTF appointment is an informal, for very appropriate term, for a follow-up consultation that happens after an unsuccessful IVF cycle. We're going to explore why sometimes even with egg and sperm in the lab, fertilization doesn't happen or doesn't happen as expected. We're also going to talk in detail about egg maturity and how it can affect the IVF outcomes, and in particular, fertilization outcomes.
