Background: Laser assisted hatching technique based on the hypothesis to make an artificial hole on zona pellucida (ZP) that can help embryo hatching out of ZP easily. This technique has been shown to increase implantation and pregnancy rates in women of advanced age, in women with recurrent implantation failure and following the transfer of frozen–thawed embryos. This study described the outcome of frozen–thawed embryo transfers with laser assisted hatching (LAH), which is one of the safest method in nowadays. Purpose: To assess the effect of assisted hatching technique on the clinical outcomes in vitrified-warmed transfer cycles. Method: A total of 65 thawed-transfer cycles with 153 thawed-embryos undertaken within a 12-month period were analysed, Assisted hatching with laser zona thinning was performed with one-quarter of the zona pellucida circumference. The overall thawed-embryos (day 3) were kept in culture overnight. Patient were prepared the suitable endometrium and transferred embryos advantageously. Results: In which, having the rate of survival embryos were 143 occupying 94.3%, the percentage of grade 1 and 2 embryos occupied 55.9% and 29,3% respectively, and that were enrolled LAH before transfering of frozen–thawed embryos. The average transferred embryos were 2.4±0.8, The rate of implantation per transferred embryos and per transferred embryos cycles was 19.5% and 43.1% respectively. The rate of clinical pregnancies per embryo transfer cycles occupied 33.8% with percentage of early miscarriages (biochemical pregnancies and early clinical miscarriages) was 12.3%. The rate of ongoing pregnancies was 30.8% and multiple pregnancies was low just 12.3%. This result was equal or higher than other researchs in embryos transfer had or no LAH. Conclusion: LAH contributed to stable frozen–thawed embryos transfer effectiveness. Key words: Laser assisted hatching, frozen–thawed embryos transfer, zona pellucida (ZP)

Abstract Background: To assess the effect of intrauterine administration of seminal plasma for patients with recurrent implantation failure before frozen-thawed embryo transfer. Methods: Trial design: This is a parallel group, randomized (1:1 allocation ratio) controlled trial.Participants: All patients will be recruited from Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital. Inclusion criteria: 1. Women after IVF/ICSI treatment in Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital. 2.Infertile women with a history of recurrent implantation failure. 3.Infertile couples (both male and female) aged between 20 and 39 years;4. Couples who have at least 1 good quality embryos for transfer. 5. Males had negative in infectious disease test. 6. The males have semen. 7. Women who intend to undergo FET after IVF or ICSI or pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). 8. Competent and able to give informed consent. Intervention and comparator: Treatment group receiving intrauterine administration of seminal plasma before frozen-thawed embryo transfer. Main outcomes: Clinical pregnancy after frozen-thawed embryo transfer. Randomisation: Patients will be randomly allocated to either treatment or control group at 1:1 ratio. Random numbers will be generated by using software SPSS 25.0 performed by an independent statistician from Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital. Blinding (masking): Only the data analyst will be blinded to group assignment. Numbers to be randomised (sample size): To account for a 10% dropout rate, we will recruit 174 patients (87 in each group). Trial status: The date of approval is 31rd May 2021, version 2.0. Recruitment started on 1rd June and is expected to end in July 2022. Discussion: Intrauterine administration of seminal plasma before frozen-thawed embryo transfer of patients with recurrent implantation failure may improve clinical pregnancy rate, it has great Page 2 of 14 significance for assisted reproduction. Trial registration: The study protocol has been approved by the ethics committees at Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital. The trial was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ChiCTR2100046803. Registered on 28 May 2021.
