Non stimulated cycle (“natural” cycle) Minimal stimulation Oocyte cryopreservation Single embryo transfer Blastocyst transfer
Today our choice of ovarian stimulation regimen is often made using experience-based medicine
The choice of starting dose takes into account patient characteristics but is used empirically
Decision for cultivation for blastocyst stage takes into account patients age, number of oocytes, embryo quality and its number
From cookery to science Cochrane data (2009)Cochrane data (2009)
Primary outcome ( live births per couple)
Secondary outcome ( clinical pregnancy rate, multiple pregnancy rate, high order MPR, cryopreservation, failure to have any ET per couple )
Outcomes not appropriate for statistical analysis ( live births per OPU and ET, CPR/OPU&ET, implantation rate
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of using blastocyst stage embryo transfer in routine practice
Design: Retrospective analysis in 7059 IVF/ICSI cycles
SBT: Extended embryo culture through embrionic genome activation to select those embryos with higher implantation rate
Strategy for patients selection for blastocyst culture:
NUMBER OF FLLICLES OR OOCYTES
Good responders on Good responders on COH during the COH during the stimulation stimulation
Patients with 5 oocytes Patients with 5 oocytes and more after OPUand more after OPU
Strategy for patients selection for blastocyst culture:
FERTILIZATION
Patients with more than 4 fertilized oocytes
Patients with more than three embryos on day 3 .

Double blastocyst transfer
