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)

Objective: In frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles, preparing a synchronous endometrium for the embryo is essential. Aim of this study is to provide individualized luteal support in hormonally replaced FET cycles, and to evaluate mid-luteal serum progesterone levels and pregnancy outcomes.Study Design: In this prospective cohort study, 30 patients were included in a university hospital in six month-period. Serum progesterone level on embryo transfer day was monitored, and if it was found to be below the lower limits defined by previous studies (10 ng/mL), additional 100 mg intramuscular micronized progesterone was administered once.Mid-luteal progesterone levels and pregnancy outcomes were recorded.Results: There was no significant difference between mid-luteal progesterone levels of the patients whose transfer day progesterone was above and below 10 ng/mL (p=0.481). Although clinical pregnancy rate tended to be higher in patients whose mid-luteal progesterone was above 10 ng/mL, it was also not statistically significant.Conclusion: This is the first study in which vaginal progesterone treatment was supported by intramuscular progesterone according to serum progesterone values for the purpose of individualized progesterone support. Significant difference was not found in pregnancy outcomes. However, further studies are required to optimize management and improve pregnancy rates in hormonally treated FET cycles.
