title: [First experience with an in vitro fertilization program at the Rostock University Clinic of Gynecology and Obstetrics].
abstract: In vitro fertilization as an aid in diagnosis and treatment of the sterile couple has been used at the university clinic of gynecology and obstetrics in Rostock since the beginning of 1983. 17 women were treated in the first series of in vitro-fertilization and embryo transfer in September and October 1983. After treatment with clomiphene and HCG in 16 women one or more oocytes were harvested. In 14 women one or more oocytes were fertilized. Embryo transfer was performed in five cases. No pregnancy resulted. The causes of the low cleavage rate and possibilities for improvement of the results are discussed.
