This case report describes the use of smooth endoplasmic reticulum aggregates-positive (SERa+) oocytes along with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), supplemented with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), aiming to enhance fertilization rates and reproductive outcomes. A 39-year-old woman, facing primary infertility for the past seven years, received assisted reproductive treatment (ART), which included adding GM-CSF to the culture medium and culture SERa+ oocytes before ICSI. Clinical results, embryo quality, fertilization rates, and other fertility parameters were used to track the patient's progress toward this individualized approach that led to a positive twin pregnancy and healthy twin babies.
Keywords: embryo transfer; granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor; in vitro fertilization; intracytoplasmic sperm injection; smooth endoplasmic reticulum aggregates.
