Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to check whether follicular fluid evaluation using a spectrophotometer can differentiate high quality oocytes from low quality oocytes. Oocyte quality will be defined using GDF9, BMP15 and oocyte morphology. The correlation between cortisol levels in women and oocyte quality parameters will be estimated.

follicular fluid evaluation using spectrophotometer to differentiate high low quality oocytes

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Oocyte quality assessment using spectrophotometer

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

On the OPU (ovum pick-up) day the following blood biochemical markers will be measured as well- Blood interleukins 1-6, cytokine, hormone profile, lipid profile, cortisol.

After collecting the oocytes- the Follicular fluid will be sent for the following tests-

1. mid-infrared spectrometry,
2. P, E2, testosterone, cortisol, cytokines, IL 1-6, lipids, fatty acids.
3. BMP-15, GDF-9 and HSPG2
4. GCMS-Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrophotometer
