Summary

To investigate the effect of low oxygen tension during in vitro culture in terms of embryo quality and outcomes of pregnancy in vitro fertilization/ Intracytoplasmic sperm injection

Detailed description

The oocytes will be divided into two parts(two groups) form one patient. The two groups of oocytes will be cultured seperately in the incubator with the concentrations of 5% CO2,6%O2,89% N2(low oxygen concentration) verse 6% CO2,20% O2,74% N2(in atmosphere). A series of observational measurement(embryo quality and outcomes of pregnancy) will be performed.

Conditions

• Embryo Hypoxia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	5% oxygen concentration	the oocytes and embryos are cultured in the incubator with concentrations of 6% CO2,5%O2, and 89% N2
