A societal preference of delaying maternal age at first childbirth has increased reliance on assisted reproductive technologies/therapies (ART) to conceive a child. Oocytes that have undergone physiologic aging (35 years for humans) are now commonly used for ART, yet evidence is building that suboptimal reproductive environments associated with aging negatively affect oocyte competence and embryo developmentalthough the mechanisms underlying these relationship are not yet well understood. Epigenetic programming of the oocyte occurs during its growth within a follicle, so the ovarian stimulation protocols that administer exogenous hormones, as part of the first step for all ART procedures, may prevent the gamete from establishing an appropriate epigenetic state. Therefore, understanding how oocyte. Therefore, understanding how hormone stimulation and oocyte physiologic age independently and synergistically physiologic age independently and synergistically affect the epigenetic programming of these gametes, and how this may affect their developmental competence, are crucial to improved ART outcomes. Here, we review studies that measured the developmental outcomes affected by superovulation and aging, focusing on how the epigenome (i.e., global and imprinted DNA methylation, histone modifications, and epigenetic modifiers) of gametes and embryos acquired from females undergoing physiologic aging and exogenous ovarian stimulation is affected.
