چکیده

OBJECTIVE To analyze data from a large multicenter study to determine whether pregnancy and delivery rates decrease with repeated IVF-ET cycles. DESIGN Multicenter retrospective study. SETTING Participating centers from the Society of Assisted Reproductive Technology. PATIENT(S) Fifty-four centers contributed 4,043 cycles of oocyte retrieval for uterine transfer. INTERVENTION(S) Oocyte retrieval for uterine transfer. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Pregnancy and delivery rates, analyzed according to age, program success rate, and whether the program was doing assisted hatching. RESULT(S) Pregnancy and delivery rates for cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, and >4 were 33.7% and 27.0%, 33.9% and 27.4%, 28.9% and 23.4%. 25.9% and 16.1%, and 21.0% and 15.4%, respectively. The pregnancy rate decreased significantly for >4 cycle; delivery rate decreased significantly for cycles 4 and >4. Assisted hatching was strongly related to better odds of pregnancy (OR, 1.50) and delivery (OR, 1.44) in women under age 40, and for pregnancy (1.64) in women age 40-42 years. CONCLUSION(S) Success rates do not decrease markedly with repeated IVF attempts, and the decrease did not change with program success rate, suggesting the IVF population is not markedly heterogeneous. Uncontrolled studies of new treatments for cycle repeaters cannot assume that success rate is poor without a treatment change.

Modeling In Vitro Fertilization Data Considering Multiple Outcomes Observed among Iranian Infertile Women

Objective Women undergoing IVF cycles should go successfully through multiple points during the procedure (i.e., implantation, clinical pregnancy, no spontaneous abortion and delivery) to achieve live births. On the other there is a need to consider previous reproductive outcomes and as well as the current cycle. In this study, data on multiple cycles and multiple points during the IVF cycle ar...

Hysteroscopic Subendometrial Embryo Delivery (SEED), Mechanical Embryo Implantation

Background A major hurdle to improved in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rate is defective endometrial receptivity and implantation. Various techniques have been advocated to increase implantation while reducing side effects. Currently, embryo transfer (ET) is performed blindly without direct visualization. As such, we sought to develop a technique utilizing a flexible minihysteroscope with a...
