The embryokinetics may be a new prognostic factor for choosing the human embryos with the highest implantation potential. In order to identify the factors that may affect the rate of embryo cleavage, there are many studies about morphokinetics and culture medium, oxygen tension, oocyte quality or type of medication used for ovarian stimulation. However there are no published data with respect to the influence of sperm DNA fragmentation in the embryo kinetic.

| Primary | Time of pronuclear appearance in hours. | We want to study whether differences exist in the time of appearance of pronuclei in those embryos that derived from semen samples from the two study groups the minimum value of the difference to be detected; we said that about 3 hours apart. |
The mean time of appearance of pronuclei is 3.3951 hours in our patients. We are going to evaluate pronuclear appearence time in hours in our study groups |
