The follicular phase and the luteal phase are two critical periods in a woman's reproductive process. They are essential for maintaining a woman's fertility and health. However, in some cases the quality of these two periods may be challenged. Today, we’ll look at the production of low-quality eggs in one cycle and how to improve quality in both periods.

The follicular phase refers to days 14 to 21 of the female cycle. During this stage, the woman's ovaries begin to release eggs and enter the ovulation cycle. However, if the eggs are of low quality, they may be released in the ovaries but fail to fertilize or form an embryo.

In contrast, the luteal phase refers to days 22 to 35 of a woman's cycle. At this stage, the egg has matured and is ready for fertilization. However, if the eggs a woman releases during this period are of low quality, they may also result in an inability to fertilize or form an embryo.

So, how to improve egg quality during these two periods? Here's how:

1. Healthy diet: A healthy diet is one of the important factors in improving egg quality. Women should eat more foods rich in nutrients, such as vitamins C, E and zinc. These nutrients can help promote ovarian health and the release of high-quality eggs.

2. Exercise: Exercise can increase the body’s metabolic rate, strengthen the immune system, and promote eggs. Women can do moderate aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or jogging.

3. Reduce stress: Long-term stress may affect a woman’s physical health, including egg quality. Therefore, women should reduce stress as much as possible and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

4. Use ovulation-stimulating drugs: If women are unable to release high-quality eggs naturally, they can use ovulation-stimulating drugs.
