COBISS.SI-ID: 4324671The aim of the investigation was to analyze the success of assisted reproduction techniques in women with low or poor respond to ovarian stimulation. We analyzed pregnancy rate in 1499 in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. The take home baby rate, 6.5 % cycles where one oocyte was obtained after oocyte pick up and 18.4 % in cycles where 2 to 4 oocytes were available for fertilization. Absence of follicle development after ovarian stimulation was the reason for cancelation rate in 5.5 % of started cycles.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4510527The tension of oxygen measured in the oviducts of several mammals was 5-8.7 %, but this drops in the uterine milieu to (2 % in cows and primates. For embryo culture in human in vitro fertilization (IVF), a non-physiologic level of 20 % oxygen has been used for the past 30 years. However, several animal studies have shown that low levels of oxygen plays an important physiological role in reducing the high levels of detrimental reactive oxygen species within cells, influences the embryonic gene expression, helps with embryo metabolism of glucose, and enhances embryo development to blastocysts. However, clinical studies have given contradictory results. Nevertheless, in nearly all reports, some kind of improvement has been observed, either in embryo development or in implantation and no detriments have been reported. For these reasons, more and more IVF laboratories utilize low oxygen during embryo culture.
