Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about egg physiology in humans. The main question it aims to answer is if there is an association between egg physiology and egg quality. Discarded, unfertilised eggs and follicular fluid collected during routine egg retrieval from participants undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) as part of their regular medical care along with information from participants' electronic medical records will be collected and analysed.

Conditions

• Infertility (IVF Patients)
• Ovarian Aging
• IVF

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Informative Appointment	The only intervention involving the participants is non-clinical, which is an extra 30-minute informative telephone appointment added to the standard care consultation schedule of interested IVF patients where they will be presented with a digital consent PDF form to sign by a study nurse or clinically trained research personnel. Participants will be in the study for 24-30 months. During this time their discarded, unfertilised oocytes and follicular fluid collected during routine oocyte retrieval along with information from their electronic medical records will be collected and analysed.
