Case report.
Independent-sector IVF program.
A 41-year-old woman with a history of 13 failed cycles of IVF.
Polar body biopsy of metaphase II eggs.
Birth.
Two of the nine eggs were euploid, and the resulting embryos, although morphologically inferior to sibling embryos, were selected for transfer to the uterus, resulting in the birth of a normal healthy baby.
Selection of euploid eggs, as an objective parameter of subsequent embryo viability and with the opportunity to transfer embryos in the same cycle could maximise the opportunity for live birth after IVF even in cases with poor prognosis.
