RESUMEN
Five hundred ninety-one oocytes were laparoscopically recovered in 93 consecutive stimulated cycles. Fifty-three of the 591 oocytes were collected from the cul-de-sac in 39 cycles. The cul-de-sac-originated oocytes had fertilization and cleavage rates of 72 and 79%, respectively; these rates were similar to those achieved in oocytes originating from follicles. A significant decrease in the fertilization rate of cul-de-sac-originated oocytes was noticed in oocytes collected from the cul-de-sac 60 minutes or more after the beginning of the procedure. Oocytes collected from the cul-de-sac yielded 21% of the embryos transferred in cycles where some of the oocytes were recovered from the cul-de-sac. These findings indicate that repeated aspirations of the cul-de-sac may increase the number of embryos transferred.

It is reported about unknown cells, looking like ciliates, found in the Douglas exudate in women with uncharacteristic pains in the lower abdomen. These self-moving cells were found in 10 out of 48 patients. The clinical results are discussed. There is a possibility that these cells are responsible as well for the uncharacteristic pains in the abdomen as perhaps for the infertility of the patient.
