NCT03088735

Brief Summary

It has been previously shown that although the activation of the embryonic genome can begin as early as two days of initiation of the embryonic development (D2), it is expressed on day 3 (D3). Without this activation, the embryo can not continue its development. Therefore, it has been suggested that extended culture to blastocyst stage could be an option to identify and better select embryos that have been able to carry out this activation. The purpose of this study is to compare cumulative pregnancy and live birth rates following transfer of cleavage embryos or blastocysts.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cumulative live birth rate

    Total number of births considering fresh and frozen thawed embryos transferred

    at 12 months after a embryo transfer (time considered enough in order to do a minimum of one frozen-thawed cycle if pregnancy is not achieved with the fresh cycle

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Cumulative pregnancy rate

    at 12 months after a embryo transfer (time considered enough in order to do a minimum of one frozen-thawed cycle if pregnancy is not achieved with the fresh cycle

Study Arms (2)

Blastocyst-stage embryo transfer strategy

EXPERIMENTAL
Procedure: Blastocyst-stage embryo transfer strategy

Cleavage-stage embryo transfer strategy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Procedure: Cleavage-stage embryo transfer strategy

Interventions

Intra-uterine transfer of blastocist if in cleavage embryo stage the oocyte recipient has a mínimum of 3 availables embryos with at least one of good quality to transfer and also the inta-uterine transfer of cleavage embryo (day 3) when the recipient doesn't have the previous criteria.

Blastocyst-stage embryo transfer strategy

Inta-uterine transferring of cleavage embryo transfer (day 3 of develpment) in oocyte recipients

Cleavage-stage embryo transfer strategy

Eligibility Criteria

You may qualify if:

  • Patients under their first or second cycle of a synchronous (fresh) oocyte donation cycle.

You may not qualify if:

  • Preimplantation genetic screening or diagnosis cycles.
  • Patients with strict blastocyst-stage embryo transfer indication by the couple's treating physician.
