Either a percutaneous-transvesical, a transvaginal, or a perurethral-transvesical approach can be used for oocyte recovery under ultrasound guidance in an in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer program. After having experienced these three different approaches in our program, we preferentially used the perurethral-transvesical approach as our routine technique for oocyte recovery under ultrasound guidance. We feel that this method is easier to perform and also carries less risk for contamination. From January to December 1986, 186 oocyte retrievals under ultrasound guidance were performed. In 7 cases no oocytes were found despite normal ovarian stimulation. A total of 767 oocytes was collected; the fertilization rate was 71.8%. Forty pregnancies were achieved (21.5% per attempt or 27.7% per embryo replacement). Except for transient hematuria, no complications were observed.

D010063 Ovum A mature haploid female germ cell extruded from the OVARY at OVULATION. Egg,Egg, Unfertilized,Ova,Eggs, Unfertilized,Unfertilized Egg,Unfertilized Eggs
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D004624 Embryo Transfer The transfer of mammalian embryos from an in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable host to improve pregnancy or gestational outcome in human or animal. In human fertility treatment programs, preimplantation embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.

D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).
