[Secrets of proportions in follicular liquid]

Only 5% of oocytes lead to life birth after IVF. Currently, it is difficult to evaluate oocyte quality on the sole basis of morphology criteria. Embryo morphology is considered as a good marker of potential implantation of embryo after ET, however it is not enough. Therefore, we need to develop non invasive assessment of oocyte quality. Research performed on follicular fluid may represent a new tool of increasing interest. The presence of G-CSF in follicular fluid could predict ongoing pregnancy. Cytokines, IL-7 and IL-17 could be also a predictor of success.
