Oocyte survival [OS] Introduction: Cryopreservation allows the transfer of a limited number of embryos back to the uterus and the storage of the remaining embryos for future use‚ thus maximizing the cumulative effectiveness of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. In addition‚ cryopreservation makes feasible the postponement of embryo transfer (ET) in a future cycle‚ thus decreasing the incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in high-risk patients‚ while it maintains the probability

During the first lab experience involving Xenopus laevis‚ I had many questions. One of my most burgeoning questions was the result of the in vitro fertilization of the Xenopus eggs. To begin‚ the female frogs were gently massaged in a manner that was similar to the method of amplexus males use in order to release the eggs. The released eggs were placed in a petri dish where they were to be fertilized by the sperm of a male frog‚ who had donated his life prior to the running of the IVF treatment.
