Predictive criteria for selection of the best embryo for single embryo transfer remain elusive. This Study aimed to determine if non-invasive markers in human oocytes, detectable using polarized light microscopy, can predict pregnancy outcome. Twenty-two pregnancy-producing oocytes from 19 patients had their morphological features compared with 30 oocytes from 19 age-matched patients whose transfer did not result in a pregnancy. Both pregnant and non-pregnant patients had similar numbers of oocytes collected (average: 11.9 +/- 2.8 versus 11.3 +/- 2.9) and similar fertilization rates (70.1% versus 69.6%). All embryos transferred were 4-cell cleavage-stage on day 2 with
