A member asked:
In woman who have poor embryo quality is the human growth hormone a good option?

No: I am no rei (reproductive endocrinologist), but i don't see a connection. Age is a key factor with egg quality. Of course, the egg is a major contributor to embryo quality i would imagine. Unfortunately, the longer they sit around the more likely they are to become poorer in quality.

No!: Gh has nothing to do with embryo quality and is a potential carcinogen - do not use it!
