چکیده

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of ovarian follicular dominance on the outcome of oocyte in-vitro maturation. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 21 patients with polycystic ovaries or polycystic ovary syndrome (Rotterdam criteria, 2004) subjected to 24 invitro maturation (IVM) cycles between October 2015 and January 2017. Patients undergoing IVM received minimal gonadotropin stimulation starting on day 2 or 3 of the cycle; ovum pick-up typically occurred on days 6 to 8. No hCG-trigger shot was given. Following 30h of IVM, mature oocytes were inseminated by ICSI and the resulting embryos cultured up to the blastocyst stage. RESULTS Ovarian follicular dominance was observed in nine of the 24 IVM cycles. Oocyte IVM yielded an overall maturation rate of 69.3±23.8%, and no difference was observed when the groups with or without a dominant follicle were assessed independently. The rates of fertilization and usable blastocysts per fertilized oocyte, mature oocyte (Metaphase II) or cumulus-oocyte-complex were nearly three times higher (28.7±22.5%) in the group without ovarian follicular dominance. No differences were found in the clinical pregnancy rates attained by the individuals with or without a dominant follicle after 21 vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer cycles. CONCLUSION Occurrence of ovarian follicular dominance during hormonal stimulation for in-vitro maturation negatively impacted embryological outcomes. Strategies devised to limit the appearance of ovarian follicular dominance must be further explored.

Effects of profound suppression of luteinizing hormone during ovarian stimulation on follicular activity, oocyte and embryo function in cycles stimulated with purified follicle stimulating hormone.

The effects of profound suppression of circulating luteinizing hormone (LH) during the follicular phase of in-vitro fertilization cycles were explored in normal women during treatment with a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue and exogenous purified follicle stimulating hormone. Ovarian responses to treatment and the capacity of supernumerary embryos to undergo blastocyst formation were ex...

P-81: Discontinuation of rLH Two Days before HCG may Increase the Number of Oocytes Retrieved in IVF

Background: Administration of recombinant luteinizing hormone (rLH) in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation may benefit a subpopulation of patients. However, late follicular phase administration of high doses of rLH may also reduce the size of the follicular cohort and promote monofollicular development. Materials and Methods: To determine if rLH in late follicular development had a negative imp...

Contribution of human oocyte architecture to success of in vitro maturation technology

 The use of ovarian stimulation for infertility treatment is associated with side effects of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and potential cancer risk. This is also true in high risk women such as those polycystic with ovary (PCO) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes was primarily developed to make IVF safe for women with PCO and at high risk of ...

P-145: Maturation Capacity and Viability Assessment of Human Immature Oocytes After Vitrification and In Vitro Maturation (IVM)

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...

Blastocyst development and pregnancies after IVF of mature oocytes retrieved from unstimulated patients with PCOS after in-vivo HCG priming.

A major side-effect of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). In-vitro maturation (IVM) of immature oocytes represents a potential alternative for the fertility treatment of these patients. Two patients at high risk of OHSS were primed with 10,000 IU HCG 36 h before oocyte retrieval. After...
