Evidence from randomized trials and real-world datasets shows that the relationship between oocyte yield and cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) is strongly age-dependent, with older women often requiring higher oocyte numbers to achieve comparable cumulative outcomes due to biological constraints not captured in current dosing algorithms. RCTs and meta-analyses in predominantly young, homogeneous populations show fresh live birth rates peaking at 8-14 oocytes and CLBR plateauing at 20-25 oocytes, forming the basis of AMH- and weight-based individualized dosing strategies; however, these datasets underrepresent women ≥ 38 years and lack ancestry diversity. This Commentary synthesizes mechanistic biology, randomized trials, registry-level analyses, and population-specific studies across multiple regions. Across products and populations, higher oocyte yield improves CLBR up to a plateau that shifts rightward with age. Advanced reproductive age is characterized by higher aneuploidy, steeper developmental attrition, and lower OHSS risk, supporting evaluation of age-specific oocyte targets.
