Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Rate of clinical pregnancy. Timepoint: Rate of clinical pregnancy is evaluated 6 weeks after assisted reproductive technique. Method of measurement: Clinical pregnancy is measured through the recording of heart beat by ultrasonography.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Fertilization rate. Timepoint: Sixteen to 20 hours after performing of assisted reproductive technique. Method of measurement: Appearance of pronucleus by binocular loop observation.;Embryo quality. Timepoint: Three days after performing of assisted reproductive technique. Method of measurement: Total number of normal blastomer and percent of fragmented blastomer in defined time points using Time-Laps system.;Rate of chemical pregnancy. Timepoint: Two weeks after performing of assisted reproductive technique. Method of measurement: Measurement of serum Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin.;Time lapse parameters. Timepoint: After intracytoplasmic injection of sperm (time 0), the following time points are measured: Time of disappearance of pronucleus in zygote (tPNF), Zygote divides into two cells (T2), three cells (T3), four cells (T4), five cells (T5), six cells (T6), seven cells (T7) and eight cells (T8). Method of measurement: Analyzing and measurement using EmbryoViewerTM software.;Rate of implantation. Timepoint: The rate of implantation is assessed 1 week to 10 days after the assisted reproduction technique. Method of measurement: Rate of implantation is determined by observation of gestational sac through the vaginal sonography.
