TL;DR: Vitrification is superior to slow freezing, which in turn is superior in turn to ultra-rapid freezing, however, more well-designed and powered studies are needed to further corroborate these findings.

TL;DR: The addition of time-lapse morphokinetic data did not significantly improve clinical reproductive outcomes in all patients and in those with blastocyst transfers, and absence of multinucleation, timing of blastulation, and Morphokinetic score were found to be associated with blastocytes implantation rates.

TL;DR: Evidence from RCTs suggests a potential benefit of GnRH cotreatment with chemotherapy in premenopausal women, with higher rates of spontaneous resumption of menses and ovulation but not improvement in pregnancy rates.

TL;DR: Comparison of embryo kinetics in cycles with all embryos implanting (-KID+) versus no implantation (KID-) suggested that markers of embryo competence to implant may be different from ability to form a blastocyst.

TL;DR: Cryopreservation of individual or small numbers of human spermatozoa may replace the need for repeated surgical sperm retrieval and a controlled multicenter trial with sufficient follow-up would provide valid evidence of the potential benefit of this approach.
