Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: in-vitro maturation of oocytes
The aneuploidy rate and the developmental potential of embryos obtained from PDE3 inhibitor-treated oocytes (a "prolonged" IVM (PMC)) in comparison to "conventional" IVM will be analysed. It is intended to assess the nuclear and cytogenetic constitution of the obtained embryos.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Incidence of aneuploidy rate by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) technique in 6 to 8 cell embryos from prolonged (PMC) IVM compared to conventional IVM on sibling oocytes.
Time Frame: 3 days after egg retrieval
3 days after egg retrieval

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Implantation potential of embryos from conventional IVM performed on Type II COC. Efficiency of both maturation systems in obtaining blastocysts. Endometrium quality in IVM cycles.
Time Frame: 7 days after egg retrieval
7 days after egg retrieval
