Hormone-free Antral Retrieval for Viable Embryo Storage & Transfer
Sponsor: Kevin Doody
Summary
This study is testing whether eggs can be collected from small follicles without using the usual ovarian stimulation medications. Participants will have up to three egg retrieval procedures. The eggs collected during each retrieval will be matured in the laboratory using the CAPA-IVM process, fertilized, grown into embryos, and tested to identify chromosomally normal embryos. Embryos from the retrievals may be frozen and accumulated. If a suitable embryo is available, one chromosomally normal embryo may be transferred. The study will also monitor safety, hormone levels, follicle development, embryo development, pregnancy results, and how well participants tolerate the study procedures.

Conditions
Interventions
CAPA-IVM System
The CAPA-IVM System Kit will be used in the laboratory to support collection, handling, capacitation, and maturation of immature cumulus-oocyte complexes retrieved from visible 4-9 mm antral follicles.
Serial Unstimulated Transvaginal Oocyte Retrieval
Participants will undergo up to three unstimulated transvaginal oocyte retrievals targeting visible 4-9 mm antral follicles, without exogenous gonadotropin stimulation or ovulatory trigger medication.
ICSI, Blastocyst Culture, PGT-A, Embryo Vitrification/Accumulation, and Single Euploid Embryo Transfer
Retrieved oocytes will undergo CAPA-IVM followed by ICSI, blastocyst culture, PGT-A, embryo vitrification/accumulation, and single euploid embryo transfer if a suitable euploid embryo is available.
