The potential of letrozole use for priming in vitro maturation cycles
نویسنده
چکیده
OBJECTIVE To compare the pregnancy rates with two different methods of priming for in vitro maturation cycles (IVM). Cycles using letrozole together with hCG were compared to cycles using FSH together with hCG in 75 cycles in patients being treated for infertility by IVM. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort non-inferiority trial Results: Using letrozole for priming was found to not be inferior to using FSH for priming cycles. The live birth rate per transfer was 31.6% in letrozole primed cycles compared to 20.8% in FSH primed cycles (not significant). However, FSH priming produced more oocytes that were mature on the day of retrieval (p = 0.004) and also resulted in more high quality embryos than did letrozole priming (p = 0.004). CONCLUSION Letrozole may be used for priming in IVM cycles in which the clinician views the characteristics of letrozole as more desirable than FSH.

Background The optimal stimulation protocol for poor responder patients is a therapeutic challenge. GnRH antagonist protocol has been proposed as a potentially proper option for poor responders. Nevertheless, there is no significant difference in terms of clinical pregnancy and cancellation rates be tween the GnRH antagonist and agonist cycles. Therefore, this subset of patients might be the be...
متن کاملLow-Dose Urinary Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is Effective for Oocyte Maturation in In Vitro Fertilization/ Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles Independent of Body Mass Index
Objective Currently, there is no agreement on the optimal urinary derived human chorionic gonadotropin (u-hCG) dose requirement for initiating final oocyte maturation prior to oocyte collection in in vitro fertilization (IVF), but doses that range from 2500- 15000 IU have been used. We intended to determine whether low dose u-hCG was effective for oocyte maturation in IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm...

Background and Aims: One of the major subjects for improving in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome is the quantity and quality of retrieved oocytes. In vitro maturation (IVM) provides an opportunity for using immature oocytes routinely discarded in clinics. This study aimed at evaluating the quality of embryos derived from in vivo and rescue in vitro matured oocytes. Materials and Methods: Tota...

Background: 15% of oocytes collected in ART cycles are immature. These oocytes may be matured following IVM program. It is possible to cryopreserve the immature oocytes for further use in ART after application of IVM. The aim was to determine the maturation rate, morphology and viability of human immature oocytes after fresh IVM and vitrified-IVM program. Materials and Methods: 63 women who und...
