Multiple Pregnancies Clinical Trial
Official title:
Single Human Embryo Transfer: Comparison of Morphologic and Morphometric Parameters for Day 2 Embryo Selection Before Transference.
Embryo selection based on the use of morphometric parameters should increase the
implantation success rate.
One of the most important issues of "Assisted Reproduction Technologies (ART)" is the
possibility of multiple pregnancies which carries a significant risk for maternal-fetal
health. These risks can be reduced by restricting the number of embryos transferred.
To do this, it is essential to improve current techniques of embryo selection by developing
new tools that would allow the selection of the embryos with higher implantation potential.
In previous works (Molina et al 2011) the investigators have demonstrated greater efficacy
for the embryo classification systems based on the use of the morphometric variables. The
investigators have also developed a profile of embryo implantation using these morphometric
variables. In this project the investigators intend to validate the clinical validity of
this new embryo classification system by conducting a prospective study of single embryo
transfer (SET) in young women at risk of multiple pregnancies.
