Summary

This study checks whether tiny plastic particles, called microplastics, can be found in the cells and fluid around eggs in women undergoing fertility treatment (ICSI). Researchers will collect samples from 100 women to see if microplastics are present. The goal is simply to find out if these particles are there, not to treat or change anything.
