Some women go on a quest for motherhood when fertility starts to decline, after the age of 35. Female egg quality deteriorates, so are the egg numbers. When fertility treatments are needed, women pay a great attention to details, such as increasing the quality and quantity of their eggs. I was one of such women and always heard from the clinic and successful mothers - “You just need one egg”, but what if you barely have any of them left? This image is about the physical and mental weight of this quest.
