Abstract
Light microscopy has remained the primary tool for the assessment of embryo quality and the selection of embryos for transfer in clinical IVF practice. Recent studies have suggested that metabolomic profiling of embryo culture media can distinguish human embryos with better implantation potential. We therefore undertook the following study to further assess the usefulness of metabolomic profiling ?spent? embryo culture medium using Raman spectroscopy. Methods: Patients undergoing IVF+/-ICSI treatment from the UBC Centre for Reproductive Health were recruited for study.

Abstract
In vitro fertilization (IVF) has been achieved in several mammalian species, including humans. Using the technique of IVF and embryo transfer, pregnancies can now be established in infertile women and thousands of live births have occurred. However, many of the embryos transferred to the uterus fail to achieve or sustain implantation. The failure of implantation has raised questions about the possible detrimental effect of superovulation on chromosomal complements. In this study, the hypothesis that chromosomal aberrations exist in mouse preimplantation embryos and human unfertilized oocytes after superovulation, was tested. The incidence of aneuploidy in spontaneously ovulated group (5.6%) was similar to that reported by others.
