Abstract | ||||
Objective: ssessment of pronuclear embryo transfer efficacy (Day 1) compared to Day 3 embryo transfer at the Infertility and Assisted Reproduction Unit, Ob/Gyn Dept, “Sapienza” University, Rome, Italy. Material and method:A retrospective study comprised of 461 ICSI patients were retrospectively evaluated between May 2010 and December 2011. In 183 cycles embryo transfer was performed 26-28 hours after ICSI (Group A) and in 278 cycles embryo transfer was performed on Day 3 (Group B). Zygotes at pronuclear stage were classified according to a new simplified criteria. Only “good quality” embryos were transferred in both groups. Results:o statistical significant differences were found between group 1 and group 2. Conclusion:In conclusion, pronuclear “good” embryo transfer remains a viable and easy option for IVF, resulting in clinical pregnancy and delivery rates comparable to those reported from Day 3 transfer. | ||||
