Is there any way to tell me about the quality of my eggs?

Age is the number one determinant of egg quality. Unfortunately, at this time there is no validated test to characterize egg quality further. When eggs undergo the freezing process, we are able to observe them under the microscope but most eggs look like “shiny” circular single cells. On rare occasion, frankly poor quality eggs can be observed that look dark. The “machinery” inside an egg that makes “a good egg good” is not visible to the eye. Only when eggs are turned into embryos that are then observed to develop through stages over time do we gain insight into the original egg quality.
