NCT01247987

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if cryopreservation at the blastocyst stage followed by embryo thaw and transfer is as effective as cryopreservation of bipronuclear oocytes followed by post-thaw extended culture (PTEC), and blastocyst transfer. Effectiveness will be measured by the rate of ongoing pregnancy at 10 weeks gestation.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Subjects randomly assigned to this arm of the study will have all of their embryos cryopreserved at the blastocyst stage, followed by thaw and transfer in a subsequent menstrual cycle.

Procedure: Blastocyst cryopreservation

Eligibility Criteria

Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Female patient seeking autologous in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.
  • Cycle day 3 serum concentration of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) less than 10.0 IU/l.
  • Baseline total antral follicle count observed on ultrasound with at least eight antral follicles.
  • to 40 years of age.
  • Ability to read and understand English.

You may not qualify if:

  • Embryo biopsy (a.k.a. pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)).
  • Any condition that, in the opinion of the physician or principal investigator, would place the patient at undue risk under this protocol or would otherwise make the protocol inappropriate for that subject.
