To compare frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) outcomes in natural cycles according to ovulation induction: spontaneous versus recombinant human chorionic gonadotrophin (r-hCG) triggering.
This retrospective study included all patients monitored for natural cycle FET during one year. When serial monitoring were performed until spontaneous LH rise, patients were included in group A (n=38) whereas those receiving r-hCG for ovulation triggering formed group B (n=43). All embryos had been cryopreserved by a vitrification method following a previous IVF cycle. No luteal phase support had been given. We compared outcomes between the 2 groups.
After checking groups comparability, we didn't find significant difference for the implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate and live birth (31% vs 45%, 32% vs 51% et 21% vs 32%, respectively for group A and B). The number of monitoring was significantly lower in group B (1,9±0,8 versus 2,5±1, P=0,006).
Although no consensus has been yet established, natural cycle seems indicated for normo-ovulating patients but the question of ovulation induction is still debated. In our study, triggering ovulation by r-hCG, respecting strict criteria, seems provide good results while reducing both protocol's constraints and cost.
根据排卵诱导方式比较自然周期冻融胚胎移植(FET)的结局:自发排卵与重组人绒毛膜促性腺激素(r-hCG)触发排卵。
这项回顾性研究纳入了一年内接受自然周期FET监测的所有患者。当进行连续监测直至自发促黄体生成素(LH)升高时,患者被纳入A组(n = 38),而接受r-hCG触发排卵的患者形成B组(n = 43)。所有胚胎均在先前的体外受精周期后通过玻璃化方法冷冻保存。未给予黄体期支持。我们比较了两组之间的结局。
在检查两组的可比性后,我们发现植入率、临床妊娠率和活产率在两组之间无显著差异(A组和B组分别为31%对45%、32%对51%以及21%对32%)。B组的监测次数显著更低(1.9±0.8对2.5±1,P = 0.006)。
尽管尚未达成共识,但自然周期似乎适用于排卵正常的患者,但排卵诱导问题仍存在争议。在我们的研究中,按照严格标准使用r-hCG触发排卵,似乎能在减少方案限制和成本的同时取得良好效果。
