Abstract

The rate of first birth to women aged 35-39, as well as age 40-44, continues to increase in the U.S. and many countries [1]. Increasing emphasis on education, later age at marriage, access to effective contraception and opportunity for career advancement are among many reasons for this trend. However, with increasing maternal age, fertility decreases dramatically beginning at 35, due to decreasing oocyte quantity and quality, resulting in increasing chromosomal abnormalities seen in failure to conceive, miscarriage and birth defects [2]. Egg donation, using higher quality eggs from young healthy donors, has historically been the treatment of choice for women wishing to conceive in their fourth and fifth decades of life.
