Calcium Ionophore Solution Can Increase Fertilization Rate in Patients During Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection(ICSI) Who Have Poor Ovarian Reserve?

January 23, 2014 updated by: Pinar Caglar Aytac, Baskent University

Effect of Calcium Ionophore Solution on Fertilization Rate During ICSI Cycles of Poor Ovarian Reserve Patients

The aim of this study is to evaluate calcium ionophore solution on fertilization rate of patients during intracytoplasmic sperm injection who have poor ovarian reserve

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

During ICSI cycle , female patients who have poor ovarian reserve have low oocyte numbers. So by calcium ionophore solution which we know that it can increase fertilization rate in males who have azospermia or globozoospermia. we planned to check if this solution can increase fertilization rate also in poor ovarian reserve patients?
