Correlation between number of retrieved oocytes and pregnancy rate after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm infection.

چکیده
The implementation of safe and maximally effective ovarian stimulation is a major aim for in vitro fertilization (IVF) teams. The goal of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) is to supply enough oocytes with normal maturation to insure the consequent biological procedures. A variety of different stimulation protocols have been suggested and an individual selection of the correct stimulation protocol is mandatory. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the correlation between number of retrieved oocytes and clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) after IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedures. We reviewed 1017 cycles in a total of 975 patients. The study results clearly demonstrate that the aspiration of less than 5 oocytes significantly reduced pregnancy rate. The aspiration of a large number of oocytes (>15) does not lead to an increase of the treatment effect and, at the same time, increases the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. The major goal is to obtain 5-15 oocytes as a "gold standard", connected to optimal pregnancy rate after assisted reproduction (ART).

Pregnancy and fertilization potential of immature oocytes retrieved in intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to evaluate the pregnancy potential of immature (metaphase I or germinal vesicle stage) oocytes retrieved in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. METHODS A total of 1,871 couples with infertility underwent 2,984 ICSI cycles. Cycles in which three or fewer oocytes were retrieved were included in this study in order to evaluate the pregnancy poten...

Background: Chemical activation is the most frequently method for artificial oocyte activation, resultant in high fertilization rates. The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study is evaluating the effect of calcium ionophore on fertilization and pregnancy rate in infertile men suffering from teratoospermia. Materials and Methods: 38 women with teratoospermic partner were divided int...
متن کاملUse of Follicular Output Rate to Predict Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Outcome
Objective The measurement of follicular output rate (FORT) has been proposed as a good indicator for evaluating follicular response to the exogenous recombinant folliclestimulating hormone (rFSH). This places FORT as a promising qualitative marker for ovarian function. The objective of the study was to determine FORT as a predictor of oocyte competence, embryo quality and clinical pregnancy aft...
