The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of oocytes with severe ovoid zona pellucida (ZP), investigate the development potential of their sibling oocytes and the clinical outcomes from affected cycles. The data were collected from our medical records. Cycles having at least one oocyte with severe ovoid ZP were defined as the 'severe ovoid group', cycles having at least one oocyte with mild ovoid ZP were defined as the 'mild ovoid group', whereas cycles without oocytes with ovoid ZPs were defined as the 'control group' (n = 150 for each group). The results showed that sibling embryos in the 'severe ovoid group' were characterized by delayed development and lower available embryo rate. The implantation, clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in this group were also significantly lower than that in the other two groups. There were five cycles in which only one embryo with severe ovoid ZP was transferred and two healthy babies were born. The mild ovoid group showed comparable embryo development and clinical outcomes compared with the control group. This study suggests that cycles containing oocytes with severe ovoid ZPs had delayed embryo development, lower available embryo rate, compromised implantation, clinical pregnancy and live birth rates.
