Abstract
Introduction: Using Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) may result in the birth of a neonate and help solve the infertility problem. However, 10-15% of oocytes fail to fertilize and this is called a Total Fertilization Failure (TFF). This failure may impose financial burden on the infertile couples and be time consuming to IVF team. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between chromosomal abnormalities of unfertilized eggs and female hormones, FSH and LH. Materials & Methods: Unfertilized oocytes from IVF treatment cycles were prepared by Tar-kowski method for chromosomal studies and after staining by Giemsa method, they were chro-mosomally analyzed. For hormonal evaluations of FSH and LH, ELISA was used. The results were analyzed by ANOVA and correlation coefficient calculations through using SPSS software and p-values
