The present invention relates to an assay for determining the implantation potential of a plurality of embryos each obtained or to be obtained by assisted fertilization of an oocyte of a female subject, comprising measuring the levels of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in the follicular fluid (FF) present in the follicle from which each oocyte is derived, and determining the implantation potential of each embryo from the level of measured FF G-CSF. It also relates to a kit for carrying out the assay. It further relates to a method for assisted fertilization.
