PG  - 100-5
AB  - The rate of occurrence of pregnancy following IVF-ET (in vitro fertilization plus 
      embryo transfer) is still very low considering the advancement of human IVF 
      technology in the last ten years. Unrecognized variation in embryo quality is oft 
      cited as the main factor involved in this low success rate. However, the picture 
      is probably more complex than this, involving many factors that have a bearing on 
      the periimplantational period following transfer of IVF embryos. Six general 
      areas are discussed in relation to their relative significance to implantation, 
      and the concept of an interrelated continuum of periimplantational events is 
      proposed as a prerequisite to predictably successful implantation post-IVF.
