The Effect of Intercourse around Embryo Transfer on Pregnancy Rate in Assisted Reproductive Technology Cycles
نویسنده
چکیده
Background: Implantation failure is the most important cause of recurrent in vitro fertilization/intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) failure. Several reports suggest that intercourse during the peritransfer period might improve pregnancy rates. This study is designed to determine whether intercourse during the peritransfer period will improve pregnancy and implantation rates in patients undergoing IVF or ICSI. Materials and Methods: In a randomized control trial study, 390 women with at least five years infertility were evaluated. In the study group, 195 patients had intercourse at least once 12 hours after embryo transfer. Implantation and clinical pregnancy rates were compared with 195 patients in the control group who had no intercourse for the entire assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle. Results: Implantation rate in the study group was 6.5% in comparison with 5.5% for the control group. Clinical pregnancy rates were not significantly higher in study patients when compared to the control group (14.2% and 11.7% respectively). Conclusion: The results showed that intercourse during the peritransfer period can not increase

متن کاملI-29: Can Fresh Embryo Transfers Be Replacedby Cryopreserved-Thawed Embryo Transfers inAssisted Reproductive Cycles? A RandomizedControlled Trial
Background: Controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) has been shown to advance endometrial maturation and affect adversely implantation in assisted reproduction technology (ART) cycles. It has been reported that there is a better embryo-endometrium synchrony in frozenthawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles than fresh embryo transfer (ET) cycles. The Background of this study was to compare ongoing pregn...

Background: This retrospective study compared pregnancy outcomes from single embryo transfer (SET) with multiple embryo transfer (MET) in too young (≤25 years) and young (>25 years) infertile patients. Materials and Methods: Data from infertile patients who referred for ART treatment to Yazd infertility center during 1992 to 2012 were studied retrospectively. Records of patients with SET or MET...
متن کاملComparison of Pregnancy and Neonatal Outcomes in Frozen and Fresh Embryo Transfer in ART Cycles: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Background & aim: In addition to the benefits of frozen embryo transfer (FET), the key question is whether freezing or melting embryos can cause fetal harm and prenatal complications. This study aimed to assess pregnancy and neonatal outcomes after FET and fresh embryo transfer (ET). Methods: This retrospective ...
