Abstract
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection was carried out in 15 oocyte donation cycles of 15 infertile couples where oocytes had failed to fertilize after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures or where the male partner had severe male factor infertility. A total of 62 oocytes were donated, but only 46 of these, in metaphase El, were injected. Of the injected oocytes, 31 (673%) had two pronuclei the morning after the injection procedure. On the following day, 29 embryos were obtained (93% of the fertilized oocytes) and 25 were transferred. Two patients were not successful and consequently did not undergo embryo transfer. A total of five clinical pregnancies were obtained, giving pregnancy rates of 333 and 38.4% per started cycle and embryo transfer respectively.Keywords
