Egg maturity assessment prior to ICSI prevents premature fertilization of late-maturing oocytes

11 Jan 2019

Abstract excerpt

PROPOSE: The presence of metaphase II (MII) spindle together with the polar body (PB) indicates completion of oocyte maturation. This study was designed to explore if spindle imaging can be used to optimize timing of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). METHODS: The study involved 916 oocytes from 234 conventionally stimulated ICSI cycles with an unexpectedly poor ovarian response. All PB-displaying oocytes...
