Brief summary

The relation between the timing of COC denudation and oocyte /embryo quality is controversial. The aim of this study is to examine whether timing of denudation of sibling oocytes has any effect on embryo quality.

Detailed description

Retrieved sibling cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) will be randomly divided into two groups, in the first group denudation will be in 30 minutes after oocyte retrieval, in second group denudation will take place after 2 hours of incubation.

Interventions

OTHERearly denudation

COCs will be denudated in 30 min after oocyte retrieval

OTHERlate denudation

COCs will be denudated 2 hr after oocyte retrieval

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of good quality cleavage embryos3 days after microinjectionQuality of embryos will be assessed morphologically on day 3
Embryo utilization rate1 week after microinjectionEmbryo utilization rate is defined as the number of embryos utilized (transferred or cryopreserved) per number of 2PN zygotes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
