Women will be divided into 3 groups: group 1 will comprise fertile women who had embryo biopsy for sex selection/family balancing, group 2 will comprise infertile women who had trophectoderm biopsy and group 3 will comprise infertile women who had IVF/ICSI without embryo biopsy.\n\nThe pregnancy and miscarriage rates of the groups will be compared. Before starting the embryo biopsy process couples were seen by a geneticist to assess the feasibility of the procedure for each couple. Couples were then counselled by a gynaecologist specialised in IVF to assess their fertility status and explain the whole procedure including the expected success rates and risks of IVF.\n\nWomen had standard pituitary down-regulation with GnRHa (Triptorelin 0.1mg, Decapeptyl® Ferring, Germany) day 7 after ovulation of previous cycle or on day 21 of the oral contraceptive cycles. GnRHa was continued for 2 weeks. Human menopausal gonadotrophin(HMG) (Merional ®IBSA) 150-300 IU/day was administered until the day of HCG administration, Transvaginal oocyte retrieval will be performed 34-36 h after the administration of HCG.\n\nDay 5 embryos were incubated in calcium/Magnesium free culture. A laser beam was used to produce a hole in the zona pellucida. Trophectoderm cells were collected by gentle suction using the biopsy pipette.\n\nFlorescent in situ hybridization of the trophectoderm nuclei with probes specific to the X- and Y-chromosomes was performed. the embryos were frozen and the cycles deferred.The embryos were thawed in the following cycle and if possible 2 embryos of the desired sex were transferred.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '40 Years', 'minimumAge': '20 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'All women who had IVF/ICSI over the past 3 years in Dar AlTeb subfertility centre will be included in the study', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Women undergoing IVF/ICSI\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Women with expected poor ovarian response according to the Bologna criteria.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02412605', 'briefTitle': 'Effect of Trophectoderm Biopsy for Sex Selection on the Pregnancy and Miscarriage Rates of Women Undergoing IVF/ICSI', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Cairo University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Effect of Trophectoderm Biopsy for Sex Selection on the Pregnancy and Miscarriage Rates of Women Undergoing IVF/ICSI', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'PGD2'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Fertile embryo biopsy', 'description': 'Fertile couples requesting sex selection for family balancing', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Trophectoderm embryo biopsy']}, {'label': 'Infertile embryo biopsy', 'description': 'Infertile women having embryo biopsy', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Trophectoderm embryo biopsy']}, {'label': 'IVF/ICSI', 'description': 'Infertile women undergoing IVF/ICSI without embryo biopsy'}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Trophectoderm embryo biopsy', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'Day 5 embryos were incubated in calcium/Magnesium free culture.
