Aim: Within the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process, to evaluate the possibility of using the state of the meiotic spindle of oocytes as an indicator of maturity in order to optimize the timing of vitrification.

Patients And Methods: In the presented report, the cause of couple infertility was a combination of a 38-year-old female and 43-year-old male with azoospermia, which was an indication for oocyte vitrification. Oocyte polar bodies and optically birefringent meiotic spindles were visualized by polarized light microscopy and their states and relative positions were used as indicators of oocyte maturation, i.
