Detailed Description

The IVF culture media design and upgrade underwent many ideas during the last 3 decades, we suppose that adding insulin as a hormon and growth factor might improve embryo development in vitro so we decide to design a trial to compare the embryogenesis by sibling Oocytes of the same patient between to arm of the same culture media and yhe same culture condition but with one arm with insulin and the other is traditional one and closely monitor the outcome within the 2 arms abd record the results

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: In Vitro culture media with insulin
We will add insulin to the single step culture media to monitor the embryogenesis
Other: Adding insulin to In Vitro culture media
We will add insulin for in vitro culture of human embryos
No Intervention: In Vitro culture media without insulin m
The embryos will be cultured in the media without insulin and compare this arm as the control arm with the interventional one.
