Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to determine if benchtop incubators improve the number of embryos making it to the blastocyst stage of development (about 4-6 days after fertilization) in people undergoing i...

The proposed study is a prospective, split cohort, randomized controlled trial which seeks to characterize blastocyst formation rates following culture in a benchtop incubator in comparison to a box i...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion Criteria for participants:
  • Patients undergoing an IVF cycle with plan for subsequent frozen embryo transfer (FET) of a single euploid embryo
  • 4 mature oocytes prior to randomization
  • Female partners age \<42 years old at start of their vaginal oocyte retrieval (VOR) cycle
  • Normal ovarian reserve:
  • Antimullerian Hormone Level (AMH) ≥ 1.2 ng/mL
  • Antral Follicle Count (AFC) ≥ 8
  • Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) FSH ≤ 12international units (IU)/L
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) \<35
  • Patients who desire to transfer the best quality embryo for their embryo transfer. However, if a participant ends up electing to transfer based on sex preference after enrollment these outcomes will still be followed and included in the intention to treat analysis.
  • Exclusion Criteria for participants:
  • All patients who do not voluntarily give their written consent for participation
  • Patients with a prior failed IVF cycle - defined as no blastocysts
  • Patients with a history of more than one failed euploid embryo transfer
  • Donor oocyte cycles
  • Gestational Carriers
  • Male partner with \<100,000 total motile spermatozoa per ejaculate (donor sperm is acceptable)
  • Use of surgical procedures to obtain sperm
  • Communicating hydrosalpinges without a plan for surgical correct prior to frozen embryo transfer
  • Endometrial Insufficiency, as defined by a prior cycle with maximal endometrial thickness \<6mm,), or persistent endometrial fluid
  • Single gene disorders, chromosomal translocations, or any other disorders requiring a more detailed embryo genetic analysis
