Abstract

Oocyte vitrification has the potential to expand tremendously the reproductive options for women desiring fertility preservation. Indeed, the number of publications regarding the reliability and efficiency of oocyte vitrification has increased exponentially over the past decade. The application of the technique to standard reproductive technologies depends on not only oocyte survival, but also the developmental potential and clinical outcomes from the resultant embryos. The aim of this study, therefore, was to examine the embryo quality obtained from vitrified, warmed oocytes in a standard infertility population. The results demonstrate that high quality blastocyst development can be expected with subsequent excellent obstetric and perinatal outcomes. These data support oocyte vitrification as a promising technique for fertility preservation.
