Kanske inte rätt formulerat att säga att äggen ökar till antal, men det studier har visat är att det ökat antalet plockade ägg vid IVF.
Det kommer hela tiden ny forskning om detta, rekommenderar starkt boken It start with the egg!
Här är ett utdrag från inledningen på den boken:
?The conventional thinking is that women are born with all the eggs they will ever have and that the quality of those eggs declines drastically with age. But this in not the whole story. Most of our lives, our eggs are in a state of suspended animation as immature cells, but in the three to four months before ovulation, an egg must undergo a major transformation. It grows dramatically in size and it starts producing much more energy. The egg must then execute a precise process of separating and ejecting copies of chromosomes. If this process goes wrong, and it often does, the egg will have chromosomal abnormalities. These chromosomal abnormalities are the single most important cause of early miscarriages and failed IVF cycles, as well as the reason it takes older women so much longer to conceive.
Many women are told here is little they can do to improve egg quality, but the latest research defies that old assumption. The growth phase before ovulation is a critical time during which many things can happen that affect the quality of the egg, both positively and negatively. These include harmful effects from exposure to toxins such as BPA and phthalates as well as protective effects from added antioxidants and other nutrients. As a result, there is a brief window of opportunity in which you can make a difference to your egg quality.?
