In infertile women undergoing therapy with assisted reproductive techniques, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), the use of gonadotropins to achieve multifollicular development is now well established.

ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is arguably the biggest advance in assisted reproductive technology since the successful birth of Louise Brown, 21 years ago.

It is apparent that male infertility is associated with mild to moderate expansion of the CAG trinucleotide repeat in the transactivation domain of the androgen receptor gene.

Implantation is a complicated process that involves adequate preparation of the endometrium.

When a blastocyst expands with the growth of the blastocoel, it stretches and thins the zona pellucida (ZP), ultimately rupturing the ZP allowing the embryo to hatch free ready for implantation.

The routine transfer of cleavage stage embryos to the patient’s uterus on day 2 or 3 has two inherent drawbacks; firstly the embryo does not reside in the uterus at such time, and secondly, up to the 8-cell stage one is observing a cleaving oocyte, in that the majority of embryonic genes have not been activated.
