Tabela I. Shows the results obtained in a small randomized controlled prospective study of IVF outcome when comparing between a commercial medium (Ferticult) and medium made “in house” (IHM). Results compared favourably between the two, with Ferticult achieving a higher success rate, which was not statistically significant (because the numbers in the study were small).
