Steps to optimize IVF before starting the procedure by
identification of the conditions which may negatively affect the
results of IVF, it should recognized and treated. The optimum
stimulation protocol for IVF will be discussed. Optimizing culture
conditions for oocytes and embryos is essential for generating high
quality embryos. Optimum culture conditions will be explained. The
number of embryos transferred with emphasis on the current and
future role of single embryo transfer is essential for a current IVF
program. Results of single embryo transfer will be evaluated.
The technique of embryo transfer is critical to the success of IVF.
The methodology of embryo transfer, how to choose the embryo
transfer catheter in addition to the importance of mock embryo
transfer will be discussed.
The prevention of the most serious complication of ovulation
induction which is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is an important
step to ensure safety of IVF.
Implantation is the critical step for improving pregnancy rate,
explanation of the unclear aspects of implantation will be discussed
and possible future steps to improve implantation rate will be
explored.
Vitrification which gained widespread use in cryopreservation of
embryos and oocytes became the method of choice for freezing
embryos. Details and advantages will be explained.

Physicians, ART specialists, registrars in Ob/Gyn,
