As you age, it's important to understand the risks associated with chromosomal errors in eggs. Here are some key points to consider:

👩‍🔬 **Eggs Age with You**: Women are born with all their eggs, and as you age, so do your eggs. By your late 30s and 40s, the likelihood of chromosomal mistakes increases.

📈 **Rising Risk with Age**: The chances of having a baby with chromosomal abnormalities rise significantly. For instance, the risk of Down syndrome jumps from 1 in 1,250 at age 25 to about 1 in 100 by age 40.

🔄 **Why Errors Happen**: Most chromosomal errors occur during egg division (meiosis). As women age, the reliability of this process can decline, increasing the chances of errors.

🔍 **Types of Errors**: The most common chromosomal abnormality is trisomy (an extra chromosome), such as Down syndrome. Other types include missing chromosomes or multiple errors occurring simultaneously.

💔 **Miscarriage Risk**: Many chromosomal abnormalities lead to miscarriage, especially in the first trimester. The risk of abnormalities in miscarriages also rises with maternal age.

🧬 **Testing and Counselling**: If you're over 35 or have concerns, consider genetic counseling and prenatal testing to assess risks and detect abnormalities early.

Remember, while statistics provide general insights, individual situations vary. Understanding these risks can empower you to make informed decisions about family planning.
