To achieve this result it is necessary to adopt a program of cryopreservation that maximizes the results. Freezing can be done at the stage of pronuclei (zygote) or to cells (embryos). In some countries, like Switzerland and Germany, freezing at the pronuclear stage is only allowed by law, considering that this is acceptable from an ethical point of view. Much literature also highlights the best pregnancy rate (PR) obtained with the freezing of zygotes compared to that of embryos. We wanted to verify this finding in our series. Were evaluated retrospectively 260 cycles of transference of embryos thawed, divided into two groups of 130: group 1 includes frozen embryos to the stage of pronuclei (PN) (day 1 after the egg retrieval; 20-22 hours after insemination) and group 2 embryos frozen at the stage of 2-4 cells (day 2 after egg retrieval, 44-46 hours after insemination). The transference was always done on natural cycle, with ovulation by plasmatic monitoring of E2, progesterone and LH ; the zygotes were thawed the day before the transfer and maintained in culture for 24 hours already cleaved embryos were thawed the day of transfer. According to the age of the patient and the number of embryos available have been transferred from 1 to 3 embryos. We evaluated the PR by determination of HCG 14 days after the transfer and viewing of an amniotic sac with fetal cardiac activity after 28 days of transfer. The PR was higher in group 1 (19.23% - 25/130) than in group 2 (15.38% -20 / 130), with a difference not statistically significant (P = Q, 3 \). The freezing to the zygote stage provides a PR greater than the freezing stage of embryo cleaved, albeit with a difference not statistically significant. Whereas, in the zygote, the fusion of genetic material of two parents in the genetic makeup of the new embryo has not yet occurred, the cryopreservation of zygotes can be more easily accepted by the ethical point of view, as well as provide better results
