Objective: The objective was to analyse and compare the formation and quality of the embryos developed using conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) and IVC techniques with an INVOCell™ device. Methods: Two groups were formed, with eight couples in each, one in culture for three days (D3) and another in culture for five days (D5), using intravaginal culture technique with an INVOcell device and a conventional in vitro fertilization technique. Results: Embryo formation in Group D5 showed 46.7% (IVC) and 40% (IVF) of recovered blastocysts. In the group D5, the conventional IVF, better embryo development dynamics was observed, with 66% of expanded blastocysts, against 28% in the IVC. Group D3 showed 75% (IVC) and 53% (IVF) of embryo formation. Embryonic quality in Group D3 demonstrated that IVF embryos had a better synchrony in the number and quality of blastomeres. All embryos recovered in Group D3, in both techniques, did not show fragmentation. The pH of the medium contained in the INVOCell™ device in both Groups D5 and D3 showed no differences. The means were 7.26 and 7.25, respectively. The pH of the medium used in IVF was 7.29 in both groups. Microbiological analyzes of the culture media contained in the INVOCell™ devices used in Group D5 were negative. Conclusions: The results showed that the IVC technique, using the INVOCell™ device, provided a healthy and balanced environment for the development and obtaining of quality embryos with three and five days of culture.
