Association between the number of retrieved mature donor oocytes and live birth in IVF donor recipient cycles using frozen donor eggs

The number of oocytes retrieved is considered an important prognostic variable for IVF cycle outcome. However, whether retrieval of larger oocyte cohorts compromises oocyte quality and live birth rates is unclear. The object of this research was to evaluate live birth outcomes among frozen donor oocyte recipients according to retrieved oocyte cohort size, and quantify the potential contribution of surplus cryopreserved embryos to the number of achievable births per retrieval.
