Re: Brown oocytes
We had same type of case. By IVF, fertilization and cleavage occurred. But all blastomeres were dark brown in colour. ET cancelled. On subsequent cycle by ICSI, we could get best embryos and ET done. She is pregnant carrying twin gestation. Some seminal factors probably the cause for such dark blastomeres. In whatever way sperm is harvested, some seminal factors may persist in final preparation. When you are doing IVF, there are higher chances for such factors to be in contact with oocytes. One important note to make is this particular male patient was under anti alcoholic treatment when he came for the first cycle.
