Pesticides may harm egg quality, IVF study suggests
NCT ID NCT03647020
First seen Jun 17, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether exposure to pesticides affects the quality of a woman's eggs and the success of IVF. Researchers analyzed data from 633 women in France who underwent a specific type of IVF (ICSI). They compared women with a high number of eggs showing a certain abnormality (CLCG) to those with a low number. The goal was to see if this abnormality was linked to pesticide exposure and worse IVF outcomes.
