AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of IVF procedures involving delayed ICSI and preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) for patients facing fertilization issues.
- Sixteen patients participated, with significant outcomes being 63 fertilized oocytes, 19 reaching blastocyst stage, and 5 found to be chromosomally normal.
- The research concludes that using delayed ICSI can result in successful live births, demonstrating that it is a viable option for patients with fertilization challenges.
Article Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to report the results of IVF with trophectoderm biopsy and preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) following delayed intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Methods: Patients undergoing IVF with PGS and delayed ICSI were included in the study. Indications for delayed ICSI included absent or poor fertilization via standard insemination or more than 50 % immature oocytes, noted post-cumulus stripping for standard ICSI procedure. Delayed ICSI was performed the day after retrieval due to absent or poor fertilization. The immature oocytes were kept in extended culture, and if demonstrated maturity, ICSI was performed. Primary outcome included fertilization rate and blastocyst stage formation, defined by the number of blastocysts for biopsy. Secondary outcome included aneuploidy rate and pregnancy outcomes following single thawed euploid embryo transfers (STEET).
Results: Sixteen patients with delayed ICSI were included in the study. Twelve were due to poor fertilization and four secondary to immature oocytes. A total of 219 oocytes were retrieved; ten were frozen upon patient request, 168 had standard insemination, and 13 had routine ICSI on the day of retrieval. A total of 129 oocytes underwent delayed ICSI. Sixty-three (49 %) fertilized, 19 (14.7 %) reached blastocysts for biopsy; fivw of which were chromosomally normal (26.3 %). Three patients underwent STEET of a delayed ICSI embryo; all three resulted in live births, including one embryo biopsied on day 8 of development.
Conclusion: Fertilization failure or an excessive proportion of immature oocytes in an IVF cycle, necessitating delayed ICSI, showed equivalent fertilization and blast formation rates. With the implementation of trophectoderm biopsy and PGS, these embryos can lead to healthy live born babies.

Flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation versus a GnRH antagonist protocol in predicted suboptimal responders undergoing freeze-all cycles: a randomized non-inferiority trial.
Hum Reprod

Study Question: Are live birth rates (LBRs) per woman following flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (fPPOS) treatment non-inferior to LBRs per woman following the conventional GnRH-antagonist protocol in expected suboptimal responders undergoing freeze-all cycles in assisted reproduction treatment?
Summary Answer: In women expected to have a suboptimal response, the 12-month likelihood of live birth with the fPPOS treatment did not achieve the non-inferiority criteria when compared to the standard GnRH antagonist protocol for IVF/ICSI treatment with a freeze-all strategy.
What Is Known Already: The standard PPOS protocol is effective for ovarian stimulation, where medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is conventionally administered in the early follicular phase for ovulatory suppression. Recent retrospective cohort studies on donor cycles have shown the potential to prevent premature ovulation and maintain oocyte yields by delaying the administration of MPA until the midcycle (referred to as fPPOS), similar to GnRH antagonist injections.
Preconception carrier screening in couples seeking IVF: exploring the patient perspective.

Research Question: What is the level of understanding, and what are the attitudes and considerations regarding preconception carrier screening (PCS) among couples seeking IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)?
Design: A mixed-methods design was used. Nine interviews were conducted with couples or individual partners (n = 16) who had an initial consultation for IVF/ICSI in the 2 years preceding this study. A questionnaire was completed by 115 participants.
Delays in the final stages of fertilization are strongly associated with trichotomous cytokinesis and cleavage arrest.

Purpose: Recent evidence showed that the phase between pronuclear fading and the first cleavage is a perilous bridge connecting the zygote and the embryo. Indeed, delay in the short interval between pronuclear breakdown (PNBD) and the first cytokinesis may result in chromosome segregation errors. We tested the hypothesis that delays in this final phase of fertilization are associated with a detrimental impact on embryo development.

Objective: Human reproduction presents a challenge for our species, as evidenced by the escalating rates of infertility. This trend has prompted inquiries into diverse strategies aimed at mitigating infertility and enhancing conception rates. Despite the extensive research on advanced maternal age as a risk factor for reproductive outcomes, paternal age has historically garnered comparatively less attention.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the link between dominant follicle proportions (DFPs) and IVF/ICSI outcomes for patients in POSEIDON Groups 3 and 4 undergoing GnRH-ant protocols.
- A total of 1,156 patients were analyzed, categorized by DFPs based on the ratio of larger to smaller follicles on the trigger day, and various statistical methods were used to evaluate results.
- Findings revealed that a DFP greater than 40% negatively impacted oocyte retrieval, embryo development, and clinical pregnancy rates in Group 3, suggesting a lower DFP threshold could improve outcomes, whereas Group 4 showed no significant differences in cumulative pregnancy rates between DFP categories.
