Abstract Background This study aimed at determining the predictive value of human chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone levels on pregnancy outcomes in patients receiving in vitro fertilization due to fallopian tube associated infertility. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 854 cycles due to fallopian tube associated infertility in vitro fertilization fresh embryo transfer. The clinical data had been collected from January 2010 to December 2018 and was divided into 7 groups depending on the progesterone level on human chorionic gonadotropin administration day. Live birth rates and observation trends were calculated. The receiver operating characteristic curve was established to determine the optimal cutoff value for progesterone, which was used to further divide the data into 3 groups; Group 1 (progesterone ≦ 1.0 ng/ml), Group 2 (1.0 ng/ml ≤ progesterone ≤ 1.25 ng/ml), and Group 3 (progesterone ≥ 1.25 ng/ml). We then compared the ovulation results and clinical outcomes among the 3 groups. Results There were no significant differences in age, infertility years, gonadotropin dosage, gonadotropin days, Luteinizing hormone level on human chorionic gonadotropin day, 2 pronuclear fertilization rates, clinical pregnancy rates, live birth rates, full-term birth rate, and preterm birth rates among the three groups. However body mass index (p = 0.001), basal luteinizing hormone (p = 0.034), estrogen peak (p < 0.001), number of oocytes obtained (P < 0.001) were significantly different. Conclusions Progesterone level on human chorionic gonadotropin day does not affect the clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rates after in vitro fertilization. However, progesterone levels between 1.0 and 1.25 ng/ml may lead to good clinical pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract Background: To investigate the predictive value of human chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone levels on pregnancy outcomes in patients receiving in vitro fertilization due to simple fallopian tube factors. METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 854 cycles from the simple fallopian tube factor in vitro fertilization fresh embryo transfer. The clinical data of 854 cycles from January 2010 to December 2018 was divided into 7 groups according to the progesterone level on human chrionic gonadotropin day. Live birth rates and observe trends were calculated. The receiver operating characteristic curve was established to determine the optimal cutoff value for progesterone, which was used to further divide the data into 3 groups: Group 1 (progesterone ≦ 1.0 ng/ml), Group 2 (1.0 ng/ml ≤ progesterone ≤ 1.25 ng/ml), and Group 3 (progesterone≥1.25ng/ml). We then compared the ovulation results and clinical outcomes between the 3 groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in age, infertility years, Gonadotropin dosage, Gonadotropin days, Luteinizing hormone level on human chrionic gonadotropinday, 2pronuclear fertilization rate, clinical pregnancy rate, live birth rates, full-term birth rate, and preterm birth rate among the three groups, but body mass index(P = 0.001), basal luteinizing hormone (P = 0.034), estrogen peak (P <0.001), number of oocytes obtained (P<0.001) were significantly different. CONCLUSION The level of progesterone on human chrionic gonadotropin day does not affect the clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rates after in vitro fertilization. However, progesterone levels between 1.0-1.25ng/ml may lead to good clinical pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract Purpose: The question that remains is, does changing the type of luteal phase support (LPS) improve the pregnancy outcomes in patients with poor ovarian response (POR) diagnosis?. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate and compare the efficiency of different methods of luteal phase support (progesterone alone or hCG alone and the combination of progesterone with hCG) in these patients.Methods: This randomized clinical trial evaluated three hundred seventy five patients who were diagnosed as POR on the basis of Bologna criteria undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection- embryo transfer (ICSI-ET) cycles at Royan institute from November 2015 to June 2019. The patients were allocated randomly into three different LPS groups on the day of oocyte pickup. In first group, 1500 IU of hCG IM on the ET day, as well as 4 days after that were administrated. In the second group, the patients received 1500 IU of hCG IM on the ET day, as well as 3 and 6 days after the ET along with vaginal suppositories 400 mg twice daily. For the third group, only vaginal suppositories twice daily was administrated from the day of oocyte pick up until the pregnancy test day.The clinical pregnancy, miscarriage and live birth rates were the main outcomes. Results: The data analysis showed that the three groups were comparable. In the following, there is no significant difference in terms of implantation, clinical pregnancy, and miscarriage and live birth rates among groups. The twin pregnancy rate in the hCG-only group was higher than those of in the other two groups, although this difference was not statistically significant (P=0.06).Conclusion: The type of LPS does not improve the pregnancy and live birth rates in POR patients. A multi-center clinical trial is warranted to confirm or refute these findings.Trial registration: The study was registered in the clinicaltrial.gov site on 14 June 2015. (NCT02798653 at www. clinicaltrials.gov, registered prospectively).

The aim of this study was to examine the association between interleukin (IL) genes polymorphisms and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome. A prospective cohort analysis was performed at a Women’s Hospital IVF centre of 1015 female patients undergoing fresh non-donor IVF cycles. The effects of the following six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in five IL genes on IVF outcomes were explored: IL-1α (rs1800587 C/T), IL-3 (rs40401 C/T), IL-6 (rs1800795 C/G), IL-15 (rs3806798 A/T), IL-18 (rs187238 C/G) and IL-18 (rs1946518 G/T). The main outcome measures included clinical pregnancy, embryo implantation, abortion and live birth rates. There were no statistically significant differences in clinical pregnancy, embryo implantation and live birth rates in the analysis of 1015 patients attempting their first cycle of IVF. Infertile women with IL-3 homozygous major genotype had a higher abortion rate than those with heterozygous and homozygous minor genotype (16.5% vs. 7.9%, P = 0.025). In conclusion, our results indicated that the IL-3 rs40401 polymorphism is associated with increased risk of abortion of IVF patients. Future studies with inclusion of other ethnic populations must be conducted to confirm the findings of this study.
