PURPOSE: To identify treatment-related factors influencing low oocyte maturation rates in standard ovarian stimulation (OS) cycles and patients' candidates for clinical studies on rescue-IVM. METHODS: Retrospective study including retrieva…

PURPOSE: Recent evidence showed that the phase between pronuclear fading and the first cleavage is a perilous bridge connecting the zygote and the embryo. Indeed, delay in the short interval between pronuclear breakdown (PNBD) and the first…

PURPOSE: The time at which embryo developmental velocity variations occur remains unknown. Therefore, we analysed the morphokinetic trajectory of human early fertilisation from the extrusion of the second polar body (PB2) to pronuclear brea…

Although a wealth of data has been published regarding fertility preservation (FP) in women with malignant diseases who receive gonadotoxic treatment, the role of FP in non-malignant conditions has been studied to a much lesser extent. Thes…

PURPOSE: To investigate whether high relative humidity conditions (HC), when using a time-lapse system (TLS) with sequential culture media, are beneficial to embryo culture, improving ongoing pregnancy rates. METHODS: We included patients …

PURPOSE: In in vitro maturation (IVM) cycles primed with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), both immature and mature oocytes are retrieved from antral follicles sized 8-12 mm. Using time-lapse microscopy, we compared the morphokinetic beha…

PURPOSE: The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the competence of oocytes obtained from preovulatory and antral follicles. METHODS: Mature oocytes from preovulatory follicles were retrieved from women selected for standard IVF …

PURPOSE: To assess retrospectively the developmental potential of different types of cumulus cell-oocyte complexes (COCs) derived from IVM cycles. METHODS: IVM cycles were performed in natural cycles or after HCG, FSH, or FSH/HCG priming. …

BACKGROUND: Pituitary suppression by depot GnRH agonist may be excessive for ovarian stimulation in assisted reproduction technology. This study compares the efficacy of standard and half-dose depot triptorelin in a long protocol. METHODS:…
