Maturation in vitro of human oocytes from unstimulated cycles: selection of the optimal day for ovum retrieval based on follicular size

Abstract excerpt

The potential use of immature oocytes for in-vitro fertilization (IVF) requires the conditions for successful maturation to be defined. This study focused on the day of oocyte retrieval. The selection of a dominant follicle may induce endocrine changes in the remaining cohort that may be detrimental to their subsequent fertilization and embryonic development. Natural cycles in volunteer donors were followed by...
