Abstract
Development of hyperactivated motility is considered as necessary for penetration through zona pellucida. In a study concerning 114 IVF atte mpts, we could not establish a significant correlation between fertili zation rate and hyperactivation rate (HA). On the contrary, most ferti lization failures (16/21) were found for HA values < 10%. 10 of such c ouples could benefit of ICSI for the next attempt : fertilization rate s were strictly similar to the general rate observed for ICSI in our g roup (48%).
