The fundamental building blocks to fertility success include good quality eggs and sperm.
For patients afflicted with either very low ovarian reserve or azoospermia (no sperm), choices today are limited. Couples must consider donor eggs or donor sperm. Until recently, science hasn’t had much more to offer. We do not have anything new to offer clinically right now, but the hope is that in a few years we will be able to “build” eggs and sperm from stem cells for every patient. Could this mean the end of menopause, for example? The implications are profound, which is why I am posting some basic research here today.
