It is the aim of this trial to use a new computerized cell selection method, in addition to the current and world-wide used scoring system of fertilized oocytes implemented by Scott, to determine whether this leads to an increase in pregnancy rates in women undergoing assisted reproductive techniques.

Clinical pregnancy
Clinical pregnancy is defined as a pregnancy diagnosed by ultrasonographic visualization of one or more gestational sacs or definitive clinical signs of pregnancy. It includes ectopic pregnancy.
min. 4 weeks after embryo transfer
Ongoing clinical pregnancy
min. 9 weeks after embryo transfer
Life Birth
through study completion, an average of 40 weeks after last menstrual period
In addition to the routine Z-score for zygote selection, if needed, the photographs of the zygotes already taken for quality and safety reasons are analysed using the new computer algorithm. Within a few minutes it generates a score, determining the quality of the cells. The two best cells upon Z-score result and new computer algorithm result are selected for first transfer.
After fertilisation pronuclei and nucleoli can be seen inside the cells by microscope. Routinely, the alignment of nucleoli can be used generating a score, the Z-score 1-4, established by Scott. Two zygotes getting the best Z-score are selected for cell culture and the cells that develop to embryo stage are used for first transfer.
