Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the developmental potential of 0PN, 1PN, and 2PN zygotes in IVF cycles and compare their clinical outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving IVF patients. Blastocyst formation rates were assessed with 0PN, 1PN, and 2PN zygotes. Subsequently, we collected clinical outcome data following the transfer of these zygotes.
Results: The overall blastulation rate was similar between 0PN (29.6%) and 2PN (32.1%) zygotes, but 1PN zygotes exhibited a significantly lower blastulation rate (17.0%) compared to both 0PN and 2PN zygotes. Similarly, the overall rate of good-quality blastulation was comparable between 0PN (15.3%) and 2PN (17.5%) zygotes, while 1PN zygotes showed a significantly lower rate (7.0%) compared to both 0PN and 2PN. Clinical pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, implantation, and live birth rates were similar among single blastocyst frozen embryo transfers (FET) of 0PN, 1PN, and 2PN. Additionally, no significant differences were observed between single- and double-blastocyst FET of 0PN and 2PN.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that 0PN and 2PN zygotes have comparable developmental potential, while 1PN embryos exhibit lower developmental potential. Blastocyst FET outcomes appear similar among 0PN, 1PN, and 2PN zygotes.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how donor oocyte survival rates during vitrification/warming affect both laboratory and clinical results in IVF cycles.
- A total of 12,690 donor oocyte recipient cycles from European IVF units were analyzed, categorizing them based on survival rate ranges: benchmark (95-100%), competence (85-95%), below-competence (70-85%), poor (50-70%), and very poor (<50%).
- Results indicated that lower survival rates correlated with reduced usable blastocyst rates and fertilization rates, while the overall live-birth rates remained similar across groups but decreased for cumulative outcomes as survival rates decreased.

Fertilized zygotes normally display two pronuclei (PN), but abnormal fertilization patterns (0, 1 or >2PN) are observed daily in IVF labs. Multiple PN zygotes (>2) are generally discarded due to an increased risk of aneuploidy. However, the decision to transfer or not transfer 1PN-derived embryos remains controversial.

Study Question: Can pregnancy outcomes following fresh elective single embryo transfer (eSET) in gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocols increase using a gonadotropin (Gn) step-down approach with cessation of GnRH antagonist on the day of hCG administration (hCG day) in patients with normal ovarian response?
Summary Answer: The modified GnRH antagonist protocol using the Gn step-down approach and cessation of GnRH antagonist on the hCG day is effective in improving live birth rates (LBRs) per fresh eSET cycle.
What Is Known Already: Currently, there is no consensus on optimal GnRH antagonist regimens. Studies have shown that fresh GnRH antagonist cycles result in poorer pregnancy outcomes than the long GnRH agonist (GnRHa) protocol.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome with insulin resistance (PCOS-IR) is the most common endocrine and metabolic disease in women of reproductive age, and low fertility in PCOS patients may be associated with oocyte quality; however, the molecular mechanism through which PCOS-IR affects oocyte quality remains unknown.
Methods: A total of 22 women with PCOS-IR and 23 women without polycystic ovary syndrome (control) who underwent fertilization and embryo transfer were recruited, and clinical information pertaining to oocyte quality was analyzed. Lipid components of follicular fluid (FF) were detected using high-coverage targeted lipidomics, which identified 344 lipid species belonging to 19 lipid classes.
