| Primary outcome is the number of congenital abnormalities in babies born after oocyte vitrification (%). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes are the number of oocytes retrieved and vitrified per woman started (%), The number of women returning for thawing of oocytes (%), the live birth rate in women undergoing oocyte vitrification (%), the live birth rate per thaw cycle (%), the number of oocytes surviving the freeze-thaw process (%), the fertilisation rate (%), embryo development, number and type of pregnancy outcome (biochemical-, clinical-, ongoing-, multiple pregnancy rate (%) after freeze-thaw process. Furthermore the live birth rate after natural conception in the same risk group (%), women never becoming pregnant (%), the number of congenital abnormalities after spontaneous attempts (%), the number and type of pregnancy outcome (biochemical-, clinical-, ongoing-, multiple pregnancy rate after spontaneous attempts (%). | — |
