I would certainly seek a second opinion, but there may be a kernal of truth in that assessment. I am 38, so 37 does not seem so old, but the ova of a 37 year old are simply not as "good" as those of the same woman at the age of 27. Still, that is why we have such things as in vitro fertilization and other artificial reproductive technologies, to overcome such problems.
