As women age, oocytes develop defects in mitochondrial structure and function and have meiotic spindle dysregulation: these increase rates of aneuploidy and miscarriage. [6] The rates of aneuploidy in women using IVF increases from 30% around the age 31 to 36% (age 36), with the further rapid 7% increase every year, reaching 89% chances of ...
