I don't suppose anyone here knows anything about embie fragmentation?

I posted this on T-TTC as well.

So most of what I've read attributes embie fragmentation to egg quality issues.  But, we're MFI.  I can't figure out why I would have crappy eggs.  I'm young (29), FSH is normal (5), AMH is nice and high (5.9).  I eat well, I exercise.  I took wheatgrass supplements leading up to and during this cycle.  We switched doctors, so now we're in a different lab.  I didn't hyperstim so that's out of the equation.  So what is it?  Do I just make crappy eggs?  Or are there other possible causes of fragmentation?

    I have been wondering the same thing as we've had fragmentation for all of our cycles as well.  I'll have to check out your TTTC post to see what the ladies are saying.

    And congrats again on the 5dt - I just read that in your blog!

    I have NO idea, but my thought is the whole IVF process has to be taxing on your body and your eggs. So any perceived "failures" shouldn't reflect on you, rather just apart of the imperfect process. It's a miracle of science and our bodies that it works at all.

    Try to focus on the super embies...I know I am rooting hardcore for them!
