Pregnancies After Replacement of Fresh and Frozen-Thawed Embryos in a Donation Program
Conference paper
Abstract
After the successful application of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) in the treatment of human infertility, new developments have been reported in recent years: the first pregnancy after embryo donation in 1983 [1], successful cryopreservation of embryos [2, 3], and births of healthy children after oocyte/embryo donation in patients with primary ovarian failure [4, 5]. In this report we describe our oocyte and embryo donation program [6] and the first pregnancy after transfer of a frozen-thawed embryo in a patient with primary ovarian failure.
