Summary

In assisted reproduction technology (ART), cryopreservation of embryos maximizes the potential of IVF cycles. Currently different cryopreservation methods are used, the conventional slow freezing method and vitrification. There is, therefore an immediate need to assess which cryopreservation technique is preferential in human IVF. In this prospective randomised study conventional slow freezing and vitrification, using the Hemi-straw carrier system, of human day 3 embryos were compared.
