Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was conducted to evaluate and compare cryo-survival, re-expansion, and implantation rates of Day 5/6 human blastocysts that were vitrified with home-made media (HM) according to (Shady grove protocol) and warmed with gradual Thawing HM according to (Kuwayama protocol)with Global Fast Freeze/Thaw Kits (LifeGlobal, Canada).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Group 1 blastocysts were vitrified with the Vit HM according to shady grove protocol using open system on cryotopvit. device and thawed with gradual thawing technique using HM according to Kuwayama protocol. Group 2 blastocysts were cryopreserved with the Global Fast Freeze Kitusing open system on cryotopvit. device and thawed using Gobal fast thaw kit. Blastocysts were subsequently cultured for 6-8 h, assessed for survival and expansion, then transferred and the percentages of Positive hCG, clinical pregnancy, implantation, multiple pregnancy and abortion were recorded.

PARALLEL

Group 1 blastocysts were vitrified with the Vit (home made) HM according to shady grove protocol using open system on cryotop vit. device and thawed with gradual thawing technique using HM thawing media according to Kuwayama protocol.

Group 2 blastocysts were cryopreserved with the Global Fast Freeze Kit using open system on cryotop vit. device and thawed using Global fast thaw kit. Blastocysts were assessed immediately for survival, subsequently cultured for 6-8 h, assessed for survival and expansion, then transferred and the percentages of Positive hCG, clinical pregnancy, implantation, multiple pregnancy and abortion were recorded.
