    This study details the initial setup and early results of an in vitro fertilization program. The program achieved one ongoing pregnancy from seven embryo transfers in its first phase.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive medicine
    • Developmental biology
    • In vitro fertilization

    Background:

    • Establishing an in vitro fertilization (IVF) program requires meticulous organization of laboratory infrastructure and protocols.
    • Mouse embryo culture serves as a crucial preliminary step for validating IVF techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the foundational steps and initial outcomes of a newly established in vitro fertilization program.
    • To outline the essential parameters for patient selection, ovarian stimulation, and surgical procedures within the IVF context.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed the organization of a physical laboratory space dedicated to IVF.
    • Formulated specialized culture media for embryo development.
    • Conducted preliminary mouse embryo culture experiments.

  • Defined patient eligibility criteria, ovarian stimulation protocols, and laparoscopy procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • The initial phase involved 17 patients undergoing induced ovulation.
    • Ten of these patients proceeded to laparoscopy for oocyte retrieval.
    • Embryo transfer was performed in 7 patients, with at least one four-cell embryo transferred.
    • One continuing pregnancy was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • The described methodology for establishing an in vitro fertilization program proved capable of achieving clinical pregnancy.
    • The preliminary phase demonstrated the feasibility of the defined protocols for patient management and embryo handling.
