With the 8 couples with embryo cryopreservation, there was a 65% fertilisation rate. At least one good quality day 3 embryo was cryopreserved in 7/8 couples. This experiment shows that IVM of oocytes obtained ex vivo during the processing of ovarian cortex prior to cryopreservation is a promising solution for patients at risk for fertility loss ...

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process of fertilization in which an egg is combined with sperm in vitro ("in glass"). The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, then removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from her ovaries and enabling a man's sperm to fertilise them in a culture medium in a laboratory.
Embryo transfer: the strongest and genetically correct embryos are selected and the decided number will be transferred to the gestational carrier. [ 10 ] Pregnancy test: after two weeks, a period known as the two-week wait it can be determined if the embryos had been properly implanted and will result in a pregnancy.
Jacques Cohen (born December 26, 1951) is a Dutch embryologist based in New York.He is a Director at Reprogenetics LLC, [1] [2] Laboratory Director at ART Institute of Washington at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center [3] (a joint fertility program with NIH), and Scientific Director of R & D at IVF-online.
Embryo quality is the ability of an embryo to perform successfully in terms of conferring a high pregnancy rate and/or resulting in a healthy person. Embryo profiling is the estimation of embryo quality by qualification and/or quantification of various parameters.
At the beginning of the ninth week, the embryo is termed a fetus (spelled "foetus" in British English). In comparison to the embryo, the fetus has more recognizable external features and a more complete set of developing organs. Human embryology is the study of this development during the first eight weeks after fertilization.
The incorporation of time lapse imaging tools in an incubator is a novel technology that allows images of embryo development to be captured frequently. [3] [4] This together with softwares [5] allows embryologists and clinicians to interpret the embryo development information captured and select embryos for transfer in IVF treatment.
