Study Question: Is the number of oocytes retrieved after ovarian stimulation for ICSI independently associated with the number of day-3 euploid embryos (EE)?
Summary Answer: A larger oocyte yield is independently associated with more day-3 EE, although the expected benefit decreases significantly with advancing age.
What Is Known Already: Although traditionally ovarian stimulation aims at collecting more than one oocyte in order to increase the chance of pregnancy, there is evidence suggesting that excessive ovarian response leads to lower live birth rates. Whether a larger oocyte yield after ovarian stimulation is associated with the genetic composition of the resulting embryos and therefore with their reproductive potential is still largely unknown.
