Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
I am so happy that you ultimately succeeded. But now you do have the biological clock working against your egg/embryo quality. The most important determinant is no doubt the issue of egg/embryo quality. Here,age, ovarian reserve and your husband's sperm dysfunction all are the most important operative variables.…
