Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether oocyte and embryo mechanical properties measured during in vitro fertilization can predict embryo development outcomes and clinical pregnancy.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

EmbryoHug

An oocyte or embryo will be gently held by a micropipette, and a small inward pressure will be applied to the edge of the oocyte or embryo. The response of the embryo to this pulling force will allow the investigators to measure its stiffness and viscosity. The term "micropipette aspiration" refers to the pressure applied to the edge of the embryo -- this procedure is not invasive and does not involve any sort of puncture or removal of material from the oocyte or embryo.
