Selecting the right embryos for in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is crucial. Advanced embryo selection techniques can help limit embryo transfers, improving success rates without negatively impacting pregnancy outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive medicine
  • Embryology
  • In-vitro fertilization (IVF)

Background:

  • Determining the optimal number of embryos for transfer in IVF cycles is a significant clinical challenge.
  • Current practices aim to balance high pregnancy rates with the risks of multiple gestations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent literature on embryo selection methods for in-vitro fertilization.
  • To focus on techniques enabling the transfer of one or two embryos.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent publications on embryo selection in IVF.
  • Analysis of various techniques for assessing embryo health and viability.
  • Categorization of methods based on complexity, from morphology assessment to advanced technologies.

Main Results:

  • A range of embryo assessment techniques are available, varying in complexity.
  • Simpler methods, like morphology assessment, are widely used.
  • Emerging evidence suggests that more complex, advanced techniques are becoming clinically applicable.

Conclusions:

  • Developing critical embryo selection processes is essential for IVF.
  • The goal is to limit embryo transfers without compromising pregnancy rates.
  • Advanced techniques may offer improved embryo selection for better IVF outcomes.
