fertilization rates

Fertilization rates refer to the percentage of eggs that are successfully fertilized by sperm during reproduction, whether in natural contexts or assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF). In natural reproduction, it's influenced by factors such as timing, overall health, and the number of viable sperm. In IVF, fertilization rates denote how many of the retrieved eggs are successfully fertilized in the lab. Understanding fertilization rates helps assess fertility health and the effectiveness of reproductive treatments, guiding couples in their family planning decisions.
