After close to 45 years of assisted reproduction and a glance back at what are major milestones had impacted the practice of assisted reproduction. The first is the birth of Louis brown in 1978. A decade and a half later, the advent of icsi, tese icsi, has changed the management of male factor infertility. A decade later, in the early 2000s, we had the vitrification initially of the embryos, latter oocyte, and reproductive tissue. Now maybe we are. on the threshold of another revolution, and this time into ivf laboratory where the closed door of embryo development has to be opened to the miracle of early human embryology development through time-lapse embryo monitoring. This presentation walks you through the development

18. The optimum time to perform fertilization assessment for oocytes cultured in standard incubation is 16.5 § 0.5 h post-insemination (hpi). The
current consensus requires modification to minimize the chance of fertilization being missed.

to be classified as
