Abstract
Aging reduces both oocyte quantity (ovarian reserve) and quality. As women are increasingly delaying childrearing, measures of oocyte quality are urgently needed. Telomeres mediate cellular aging and may mark oocyte quality (Kalmbach et al, F&S, 2013). Since oocyte quality generally declines with ovarian reserve, we tested the hypothesis that decreased oocyte telomere length would be associated with diminished ovarian reserve and response during stimulated IVF cycles.
