The development of suitable defined sequential culture media methods that can reliably lead to high rates of blastocyst development in human in-vitro fertilization (IVF) (Gardner et al., 1998a) has brought about the dilemma of when to apply this technique. As with many new IVF techniques, a choice must be made by many reproductive units of whether or not to adopt a new technology without compromising the ultimate goal of achieving pregnancies for couples.

Gardner et al. (1998a,b) have stated that one . . . [Full Text of this Article]
