Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Oocytes Survival rate
Oocyte survival rate will be assessed 2 hours after thawing using morphological evaluation under a light microscope. Surviving oocytes will be identified by the presence of an intact zona pellucida and oolemma, a round shape, and homogeneous cytoplasm without signs of lysis, fragmentation, or cytoplasmic granulation.
