Oocyte yield and cumulative live birth

What was investigated and what was found?

In severe oligospermia and azoospermia, cumulative live-birth outcomes from fresh and frozen embryos obtained from a single stimulation cycle were investigated.

Interpreting the findings

Mixed diagnostic groups and earlier treatment years; the study does not provide an individual target oocyte number.

How can you prepare for a consultation?

When a publication reports ICSI or live-birth outcomes, ask which stage couples had reached before its rates were calculated. If you have previous treatment records, discuss sperm retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer and pregnancy separately. Outcomes among couples with retrieved sperm or an embryo transfer differ from outcomes among everyone starting assessment.

What does this research mean for your situation?

Let us begin with your diagnosis, previous findings and goals as a couple. You can request an initial consultation with Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çolakoğlu to discuss what this research means for your own situation.
