Abstract
Since the first successful human in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy nearly 40 years ago, numerous approaches have been taken in attempts to improve IVF outcomes. A more robust understanding of embryologic development has driven innovation in not only the culture technologies but also the timing of embryo transfer. In this chapter, we will review embryo culture systems and the effectiveness of cleavage vs blastocyst stage transfer, embryo followed by the discussion of the optimal embryo culture and transfer strategy in diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) patients.
