چکیده

BACKGROUND To discuss the meaning of serum oestradiol monitoring in frozen embryo transfer cycle using hormone replacement without pretreatment with gonadotropin hormone (GnRH) agonist. METHODS The data from two hundred twelve women undergoing two hundred seventy-four frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles was included in this retrospective cohort study. They were detected of serum oestradiol levels and endometrium thicknesses during hormone supplement FET cycles and compared their pregnancy outcomes according to their oestradiol level on progesterone initiation day. RESULTS Patients with different levels of serum oestradiol (percentile 0-25th, 25th-75th and 75th-100th) on progesterone initiation day yielded the endometrium thickness of 9.3 +/- 0.12, 8.9 +/- 0.07 and 9.1 +/- 0.11 mm(P > 0.05) and the pregnancy rate of 32.2%, 38.4% and 36.3% (P > 0.05) respectively. CONCLUSION The serum estradiol level did not predict pregnancy success in hormone replacement FET cycles, suggesting that oestradiol monitoring in this method of endometrial preparation is unnecessary.

I-29: Luteal Phase Support in Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfer Cycle

Cumulative pregnancy rate has been significantly increased since frozen-thawed embryo transfer was applied in ART cycles. This method has become an essential part of IVF/ICSI treatment. Luteal phase support has been proven to be associated with higher rate of live birth rate. Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and progestrone have been successfully used for luteal phase support in ovarian stim...

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: The aim of this prospective randomized clinical trial was to determine the optimal endometrial preparation protocol by comparing the clinical outcome of two methods of endometrial preparation in FET cycles, that is, oral estradiol and 17 β-estradiol transdermal patch. Materials and Methods: A total number of 90 patients were scheduled for FET. In the study group (n=45), 17-B estradi...
