Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to quantify and identify bacteria that may be present in semen and follicular fluid samples on the day of the IVF-ICSI attempt. The secondary objective is to : * Quantify and identify bacteria that may be present in embryo culture media on day 6. * Correlate microbiological analyses of sperm and follicular fluids with those of embryo culture media on day 6. * Evaluate their impact on fertilization and blastulation rates
Detailed description
This is a single-center observational study based on data contained in the medical records of couples treated and evaluated as part of Medically Assisted Procreation (IVF-ICSI). This study was conducted at the Parly 2 private hospital for data and sample collection, at the Parly 2 hospital microbiology laboratory, and at Life & Soft Fontenay-aux-Roses for sample analysis. Collected samples will not be stored after analysis. The objective of this study does not impose any particular constraints. The study consists of a single assessment, the data from which will be recorded on an electronic case report form (CRF).
