Vitrification of immature oocytes followed by maturation showed similar rates of survival, maturation, and metaphase plate conformation compared to the standard strategy, but with a significantly higher percentage of normal spindle. Additionally, extending the IVM time to 48 hours did not seem to negatively affect the oocyte metaphase plate configuration.
The combination of in vitro maturation (IVM) techniques and oocyte vitrification (OV) could increase the number of useful oocytes in different types of patients. IVM and subsequent OV is the most widely used clinical strategy. Would the results improve if we reverse the order of the techniques? Here, we evaluated survival, in vitro maturation, time to extrude the first polar body (PB), and the metaphase plate configuration of human prophase I (GV) oocytes before or after their vitrification. Specific, 195 GV oocytes from 104 patients subjected to controlled ovarian stimulation cycles were included. We stablished three experimental groups: GV oocytes vitrified and IVM (Group GV-Vit), GV oocytes IVM and vitrified at MII stage (Group MII-Vit), and GV oocytes IVM (Group not-Vit). All of them were in vitro matured for a maximum of 48 h and fixed to study the metaphase plate by confocal microscopy. According to our results, the vitrification of immature oocytes and their subsequent maturation presented similar survival, maturation, and metaphase plate conformation rates, but a significantly higher percentage of normal spindle than the standard strategy. Additionally, the extension of IVM time to 48 h did not seem to negatively affect the oocyte metaphase plate configuration.
