Egg health is a topic Kate and I are always asked about and having spoken with Embryologist Lucy Lines, on the podcast before we knew she’d be perfect for sharing bitesize chunks of helpful information on the matter. Lucy’s career as an embryologist began with Monash IVF in Melbourne in 2001. Since then, she has worked in Sweden, the UK, Ireland, and Germany. Lucy is one of 143 experts answering more of your questions over at fertially.com and we’ve worked to make this bitesize chunk for you.

What was discussed:

• What is the relationship between fertility and egg quality?
• Can you explain a bit about why and how egg quality declines over time?
• What foods can improve egg quality
• Does poor egg quality cause Down syndrome or genetic diseases in the baby?
• How many eggs do you lose per cycle?
