Sibling Oocyte Study of Medium for In Vitro Fertilization/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (IVF/ICSI) With no Human Serum Albumine

Sibling Oocyte Study of Medium for IVF/ICSI With no Human Serum Albumine

The purpose of this study is to determine if a new medium with no human serum albumine added is as good as the media conventionally used for IVF/ICSI.

Cells attained in IVF/ICSI procedures are kept in a medium that nurture the cells. Until now all such media have contained human serum albumine. The purpose of this study is to determine if a new medium with no human serum albumine added is as good as the media conventionally used for IVF/ICSI.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Couples seeking IVF/ICSI.
• Female under 38 years of age.
• No more than two previous IVF/ICSI treatments without pregnancy.
• Regular menstruation periods.
• No endocrine disease that requires treatment in the female.
• BMI below 30 in the female.
• At least 8 mature follicles upon monitoring or 6 MII oocytes upon ICSI.
• Written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Low responders to FSH.
• Females in danger of developing OHSS.
• Sperm sample below ICSI-quality.
