Pregnancies and births after oocyte cryopreservation
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of oocyte cryopreservation techniques was evaluated in a tertiary fertility center, where oocytes from women treated for infertility were stored with a slow cooling/rapid thawing protocol in which 1 2 propanediol and sucrose were used as cryoprotectants.

Differential sucrose concentration during dehydration (0.2 mol/l) and rehydration (0.3 mol/l) increases the implantation rate of frozen human oocytes
TL;DR: Increased oocyte survival rates can be achieved by moderately high sucrose concentrations in the freezing and thawing solutions, which ensures elevated success rates in terms of fertilization, embryo development and clinical outcome.

Molecular methods for selection of the ideal oocyte.
TL;DR: Established methods of assessing the female gamete will soon be joined by more advanced cytogenetic methods such as the use of comparative genomic hybridization to improve understanding of oocyte genetics, leading to improved implantation rates and higher probabilities of success using elective single embryo transfer.

TL;DR: Partial disruption of the MII spindle and associated chromosomes accompanies inadequate cryopreservation during slow cooling, but protocols adopting higher sucrose concentration in the freezing solution promote the retention of an intact chromosome segregation apparatus comparable to freshly collected oocytes.

Cumulative pregnancy rates resulting from the use of fresh and frozen oocytes: 7 years' experience.
TL;DR: In this article, the cumulative pregnancy rate after use of fresh and cryopreserved oocytes was analyzed in 80 treatment cycles in which patients chose to have only a few fresh oocytes inseminated, 24 pregnancies were obtained (30.0%), with an implantation rate of 22.6%.
