Abstract: Poor ovarian reserve and low fertility in elder women have been troubling both the patients and doctors. Low oocyte and embryo quality is the primary cause for low pregnancy rate and high abortion rate. Assisted reproductive technology(ART)can help ovarian stimulation, culture protocol modification and preimplantation genetic screening(PGS), which are conducive to obtaining healthy oocytes and embryos per cycle. However, ART is unable to increase the quality of oocytes and embryos derived from elder women. So far, there is no solution available to improve the low 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)55卷1期 -李梅.高龄女性的卵子和胚胎质量 \=-ovary function in elder women. Therefore, elder women should take it seriously before they decide to conceive.

Key words: Oocyte, Assisted reproductive technology, Embryo, Advanced parental age, Pregnancy
