摘要
Objective To evaluate the value of oocyte cryopreservation （CP） in our clinical ICSI program. Methods Freezing procedure with medium containing 1.5 mol/L propanediol （PrOH） ＋ 0. 3 mol/L succrose and traditional slow-freezingprotocol were used. Thawed oocytes were fertilized with ICSI （4-6 h after thawing）, and fertilization was assessed 12-16 h later. Laser assisted hatching was performed on all transferred embryos and embryo transfer was carried out 48-72 h after ICSI. Results Eighty-five eggs were thawed and survival rate of 75.3% （64/85） was obtained. Sixty-four oocytes were inseminated with ICSI, 47fertilized （47/64; 73.4%） and a cleavage rate of 85% （40/47） was obtained. Embryo transfers were performed in 18 patients, and 4 （19%） resulted in clinical pregnancies. One of the pregnancies encountered first trimester abortion. Implantation rate were 17.2% （5/29） per embryo and 5.8% （5/85） per egg thawed. In all cases, chorion biopsy was performed resulting 46 XY kariotype. Conclusion Our results provide further evidence of that although egg freezing cannot currently claim to be a routine procedure in human IVF,, there will certainly be a place for oocyte CP in reproductive medicine in the future.
