Abstract
As is the case with nonfrozen oocytes the efficient and successful use of cryopreserved oocytes in human assisted reproduction is in part dependent on the ability to apply selection criteria when choosing the ‘best’ embryos for transfer from a cohort In many cases this in turn will necessitate the cryopreservation of nontransferred embryos to minimise the risk of multiple pregnancy It is therefore important to establish that an embryo generated by fertilization of a frozenthawed oocyte can be capable of surviving subsequent cryopreservation while retaining the potential for normal development In this case report we document the delivery of a normal male infant following transfer of a frozenthawed embryo generated by the fertilization of a frozenthawed oocyte by a frozenthawed sperm
