Detaljert beskrivelse
The last decade has seen a development of a new cryopreservation technique called vitrification. Despite a lack of randomized control trials comparing slow-freezing and vitrification, vitrification seems to show better recovery rates and pregnancy outcomes. However vitrification is a manual, labour-intensive and highly skilled procedure, results can vary between embryologists and clinics. The GAVI system, an automation instrument with a novel closed system device has been developed. The present study would like to assess the outcomes for embryos automatically vitrification processed with the GAVI system compared with those processed with conventional reference technique of slow freezing.
The meta-analysis comparing the cryopreservation of human embryos by vitrification or slow-freezing suggested that more well design studies as randomized trials are necessary to identify the most successful method for cryopreservation. The efficacy of the vitrification with the GAVI system will be compared with the conventional slow freezing method through a randomized control trial. Couples in IVF attempt will be randomized at the day of embryo cryopreservation by the biologist. Supernumerary frozen embryos will be thawed and transferred in utero in case of failure of the "fresh" embryo transfer. The outcomes of the thawing and frozen/thawed embryo transfer will be assessed. In the two groups, the patients will benefit of the standard IVF procedures applied in the Assisted Reproductive Technologies center of Toulouse.

Eksperimentell: reference technique slow freezing
In reference technique slow freezing arm, embryon will be frozen with the conventional slow freezing procedure with the Freezal device apply a slow decreasing in temperature with moderate cryoprotector concentration
|
Slow-freezing procedure is the reference technique, actually use at the Toulouse hospital, to cryopreserve embryos.
Embryon are frozen with a slow freezing.

|
Eksperimentell: vitrification technique
In vitrification technique arm, embryon will be frozen with automated vitrification system
|
Vitrification is the new technique to freeze embryons.
In this study, the GAVI system will be use for for embryos automatically vitrification

It will be measured by microscopic evaluation by a biologist or an IVF laboratory technician at the time of thawing, routine very simple laboratory to do because at this early embryonic stage there are few cells: 4 to 8 cells and they are well individualized.
