Significance of one pronucleus before fertilization.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To describe a case of primary infertility associated with oocytes having one pronucleus before fertilization on repeated IVF attempts. DESIGN:Case report. SETTING:A university-based assisted reproduction unit. PATIENT(S):A 30-year-old woman with primary infertility and oocytes containing one pronucleus before fertilization. INTERVENTION(S):Oocyte donation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Pregnancy. RESULT(S):Conceived triplets after transfer of three embryos using donor oocytes. CONCLUSION(S):This patient's infertility was likely associated with an oocyte abnormality, as evidenced by the premature formation of one pronucleus before fertilization. In the future, more studies on the appearance of a single pronucleus before fertilization will be needed to determine its overall significance on fertility.
