Comparison of in Vitro Fertilization Rates of Oocytes and Embryo Development Using Two Techniques of Semen Processing

July 23, 2017 updated by: Luis Bahamondes, University of Campinas, Brazil
The investigators propose to assess one method of sperm selection based on the characteristics of spermatozoa recently introduced: Sperm Selection Assay, which used a gradient of concentration of progesterone to act as chemoatractant of spermatozoa of better quality. We will assess in vitro fertilization with two techniques (SSSA versus traditional technique of swin up) as well as embryo development.

Detailed Description

The project is a RCT follow the orientation of CONSORT. The investigators propose to assess one method of sperm selection based on the characteristics of spermatozoa recently introduced: Sperm Selection Assay, which used a gradient of concentration of progesterone to act as chemoatractant of spermatozoa of better quality. We will assess in vitro fertilization with two techniques (SSSA versus traditional technique of swin up) as well as embryo development.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: SSA

The investigators propose to assess one method of sperm selection based on the characteristics of spermatozoa recently introduced: Sperm Selection Assay, which used a gradient of concentration of progesterone to act as chemoatractant of spermatozoa of better quality. We will assess in vitro fertilization with two techniques (SSA versus traditional technique of swin up) as well as embryo development.

In this arm, the sperm selection for IVF will be performed by the new proposed technique of Sperm Selection Assay which consist to expose spermatozoa a progesterone quemoatractant Sperm selection via SSA technique
Other: SSA sperm selection

Active Comparator: control

The investigators propose to assess one method of sperm selection based on the characteristics of spermatozoa recently introduced: Sperm Selection Assay, which used a gradient of concentration of progesterone to act as chemoatractant of spermatozoa of better quality. We will assess in vitro fertilization with two techniques (SSSA versus traditional technique of swin up for sperm selection) as well as embryo development.

In this arm, the sperm selection for IVF will be the traditional swin up technique with different Percoll gradient Sperm selection via traditional swin-up
