The objective of this study was to evaluate the gestational results obtained with vitrified-thawed human cleavage-stage embryo by two different thaw protocols. Embryo development was observed to cleavage-stage and embryos were cryopreserved by vitrification on day 3 after oocyte retrieval. 51 cycles were thawed using vitrification warming kit with decreasing concentrations of sucrose in 3 dilutions ( 1.

Objective: To assess the clinical pregnancy outcomes of blastocyst transfer which developed from poor quality embryos.
Of 122 consecutive procedures, 31 were not assisted hatching (AH), which served as the control group, 34 were AH with 40 microm thinning of the zona, and 57 were AH with 80 microns of the zona thinning. The pregnancy and implantation rates were significantly higher in 80 microns thinning group compared to control group (40.3 vs.
