Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate how can we predict success in poor responder patients in terms of pregnancy rate and live birth rate. Material and method: This study is a review of the newest papers that have in the center the poor responders undergoing treatment involving assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Outcomes: The results show that the most reliable factors when counseling a poor responder patient are age and Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level. Conclusions: The most important factors that influence pregnancy rate are age and ovarian reserve, but other factors such as male pathology and laboratory techniques must be studied deeper.

We examined whether treatment with minimum-dose stimulation (MS) protocol enhances clinical pregnancy rates compared to high-dose stimulation (HS) protocol. A retrospective cohort study was performed comparing IVF and pregnancy outcomes between MS and HS gonadotropin-antagonist protocol for patients with poor ovarian reserve (POR). Inclusion criteria included patients with an anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) ≤8 pmol/L and/or antral follicle count (AFC) ≤5 on days 2-3 of the cycle. Patients from 2008 exclusively had a HS protocol treatment, while patients in 2010 had treatment with a MS protocol exclusively. The MS protocol involved letrozole at 2.5 mg over 5 days, starting from day 2, overlapping with gonadotropins, starting from the third day of letrozole at 150 units daily. GnRH antagonist was introduced once one or more follicles reached 14 mm or larger. The HS group received gonadotropins (≥300 IU/day) throughout their antagonist cycle. Clinical pregnancy rate was significantly higher in the MS protocol compared to the HS protocol (P=0.007). Furthermore, the live birth rate was significantly higher in the MS group compare to the HS group (P=0.034). In conclusion, the MS IVF protocol is less expensive (lower gonadotropin dosage) and resulted in a higher clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate than a HS protocol for poor responders.

Hcg Trigger

Abstract Background Traditionally, final follicular maturation is triggered by a single bolus of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This acts as a surrogate to the naturally occurring luteinizing hormone (LH) surge to induce luteinization of the granulosa cells, resumption of meiosis and final oocyte maturation. More recently, a bolus of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist in combination with hCG (dual trigger) has been suggested as an alternative regimen to achieve final follicular maturation. Methods This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials evaluating the effect of dual trigger versus hCG trigger for follicular maturation on pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). The primary outcome was the live birth rate (LBR) per started cycle. Results A total of 1048 participants were included in the analysis, with 519 in the dual trigger group and 529 in the hCG trigger group. Dual trigger treatment was associated with a significantly higher LBR per started cycle compared with the hCG trigger treatment (risk ratio (RR) = 1.37 [1.07, 1.76], I2 = 0%, moderate evidence). There was a trend towards an increase in both ongoing pregnancy rate (RR = 1.34 [0.96, 1.89], I2 = 0%, low evidence) and implantation rate (RR = 1.31 [0.90, 1.91], I2 = 76%, low evidence) with dual trigger treatment compared with hCG trigger treatment. Dual trigger treatment was associated with a significant increase in clinical pregnancy rate (RR = 1.29 [1.10, 1.52], I2 = 13%, low evidence), number of oocytes collected (mean difference (MD) = 1.52 [0.59, 2.46), I2 = 53%, low evidence), number of mature oocytes collected (MD = 1.01 [0.43, 1.58], I2 = 18%, low evidence), number of fertilized oocytes (MD = 0.73 [0.16, 1.30], I2 = 7%, low evidence) and significantly more usable embryos (MD = 0.90 [0.42, 1.38], I2 = 0%, low evidence). Conclusion Dual trigger treatment with GnRH agonist and HCG is associated with an increased live birth rate compared with conventional hCG trigger. Trial registration CRD42020204452.

Background: Many guidelines have been issued regarding the number of embryos to be transferred after in vitro fertilization (IVF), but patients and clinicians may be reluctant to accept or offer a single embryo transfer due to the expected lower chance of pregnancy or live birth. This study was aimed to provide additional information on cycle outcome according to the number and quality of thawed transferred blastocysts. Methods:A retrospective cohort study was designed to collect the data of 505 patients who performed the first frozen blastocysts transfer at Tam Anh General Hospital from June 2018 to September 2019. One good-quality embryo was transferred for 121 patients (Group 1), two good for 214 patients (Group 2), one good and one poor for 112 patients (Group 3), one good and two poor for 25 patients (Group 4), and one or two poor for 33 patients (Group 5). Results:The pregnancy rate was 71.9%, 74.8%, 69.4%, 84.0%, and 39.4% in Group 1–5, respectively. The multiple pregnancy rate was 36.9%, 16.9%, and 32.0% in Groups 2–4, respectively, higher than Group 1 (4.9%). The live birth rate was 55.6%, 50.9%, and 60.0% in Group 2–4, respectively, but not significantly different from the Group 1 (47.9%). Conclusions:Transferring an additional good or poor embryo, along with a good embryo, does not increase the live birth rate while the incidence of multiple pregnancies rises significantly.

Abstract Background So far, only few literatures have studied the relationship between blastocyst transfer position and ART outcomes, and the conclusions are still controversial. Our study is to evaluate the effect of air bubble position on ART outcome and to find the optimal embryo transfer position in frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer. Methods This study included a retrospective cohort analysis of 399 frozen-thawed single blastocyst transfers ultrasound-guided performed between June 1, 2017 and November 30, 2020. All of the women scheduled for frozen-thawed single blastocyst transfers ultrasound-guided. The primary outcome is clinical pregnancy rate and the secondary outcome is live birth rate. Statistical analyses were conducted using One-way Anova, Kruscal Whallis H test, chi-square test and Smooth curve fitting. Results When BFD was less than 19 mm, there was no significant change in clinical pregnancy rate as BFD increased (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.89 to 1.02, P = 0.1373); when BFD was more than 19 mm, the clinical pregnancy rate decreased by 16% for every 1 mm increase in BFD (OR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.72 to 0.98, P = 0.0363). The effect of BFD on live birth rate were similar to that on clinical pregnancy rate, the inflection point was 19mm, when BFD was more than 19 mm, the live birth rate decreases by 58% for every 1 mm increase in BFD (OR = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.21 to 0.86, P = 0.0174) Conclusions The ideal pregnancy outcome can be achieved within 19mm from uterus fundus after single blastocyst transfer, The clinical pregnancy and live birth at a distance of more 19mm from the uterus fundus have a cliff-like downward trend.

Abstract Background: Along with progress in embryo cryopreservation, especially in vitrification has made freeze all strategy more acceptable. Some studies found comparable or higher live birth rate with frozen embryo transfer (FET) than with fresh embryo transfer（ET）in gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocol. But there were no reports about live birth rate differences between fresh ET and FET with gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) long protocol. The aim of this study is to analyze whether patients benefit from freeze all strategy in GnRH-a protocol from real-world data.Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study, in which women undergoing fresh ET or FET with GnRH-a long protocol at Chongqing Reproductive and Genetics Institute from January 2016 to December 2018 were evaluated. The primary outcome was live birth rate. The secondary outcomes were implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, pregnancy loss and ectopic pregnancy rate.Results: A total of 7,814 patients met inclusion criteria, implementing 5,216 fresh ET cycles and 2,598 FET cycles, respectively. The demographic characteristics of the patients were significantly different between two groups, except BMI. After controlling for a broad range of potential confounders (including age, infertility duration, BMI, AMH, no. of oocytes retrieved and no. of available embryos), multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that there was no significant difference in terms of clinical pregnancy rate, ectopic pregnancy rate and pregnancy loss rate between two groups (all P>0.05). However, the implantation rate and live birth rate of fresh ET group were significantly higher than FET group (P<0.001 and P=0.012, respectively).Conclusion: Compared to FET, fresh ET following GnRH-a long protocol could lead to higher implantation rate and live birth rate in infertile patients underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF). The freeze all strategy should be individualized and made with caution especially with GnRH-a long protocol.

Abstract Study question What is the live birth rate after frozen embryo transfer (FET) of slow-growing embryos frozen on day 5 (D5) or on day 6 (D6)? Summary answer The live birth rate after single FET is significantly higher for slow-growing embryos frozen on D5 compared to those frozen on D6. What is known already Most data on the outcomes of blastocyst transfer stem from studies that evaluate fresh transfer from normal growing D5 blastocyst ET. However not all embryos will begin blastulation nor reach the fully expanded stage by D5; those are the slow-growing embryos. Studies that compare D5 to D6 embryos in FET cycles show contradictory results. Some have reported higher clinical pregnancy rates after D5 FET, while others have reported similar outcomes for D5 and D6 cryopreserved blastocyst transfers. There is a lack of evidence regarding the best approach for vitrifying embryos that exhibit a slow developmental kinetic. Study design, size, duration This retrospective cohort study included 821 single FET of slow-growing embryos frozen on D5 or D6, belonging to patients undergoing in vitro fertilization with donor oocytes between January 2011 and October 2019, in a single fertility center. The origin of blastocysts was either supernumerary embryos after fresh embryo transfer or blastocysts from freeze-all cycles. All embryos were transferred 2- 4h after thawing. Participants/materials, setting, methods We compared reproductive outcomes of slow-growing embryos frozen on D5 versus (n = 442) slow-growing embryos frozen on D6 (n = 379). D5 group consisted in embryos graded 0, 1, 2 of Gardner scale and frozen on D5. Similarly, D6 group consisted in embryos graded 3, 4, 5 of Gardner scale (blastocyst stage) and frozen on D6. Differences in pregnancy rates between study groups were compared using a Chi2 test. A p-value &lt;0.05 was considered statistically significant. Main results and the role of chance Baseline characteristics were comparable between study groups. Overall, mean age of the woman was 42.3±5.4 years old; donor sperm was used in 25% of cycles, and it was frozen in 73.2% of cycles. Pregnancy rates were significantly higher when transferring slow D5 embryos compared to D6 for all the pregnancy outcomes analyzed: biochemical pregnancy rate was 27.7% vs 20.2%, p &lt; 0.016; clinical pregnancy rate was 17.5% vs 10.2%, p &lt; 0.004); ongoing pregnancy rate was: 15.7% vs 7.8% (p &lt; 0.001); live birth rate was: 15.4% vs 7.5%, (p &lt; 0.001). These results suggest that when embryos exhibit a slow development behavior (not reaching full blastocysts at D5), waiting until D6 for blastulation and expansion does not improve clinical outcomes. Vitrification at D5 will should the preferred option in cases where the oocyte is assumed of high quality Limitations, reasons for caution The retrospective design of the study is its main limitation. Also, morphology as sole selection criterion for transfer. However, blastocyst morphology is a very good predictor of implantation and pregnancy, and a good indicator of the embryo’s chromosomal status (higher euploidy rate in higher morphological quality blastocysts). Wider implications of the findings: These results can help to the standardization of laboratory protocols. As the decision of vitrifying slow developing embryos on D5 or D6 is made by the laboratory team or by the gynaecologist in agreement with the patient, having an evidence based strategy simplifies patient counselling and decision making.

BackgroundThe definition of recurrent implantation failure (RIF) differs clinically, one of the most controversial diagnostic criteria is the number of failed treatment cycles. We tried to investigate whether the two implantation failure could be included in the diagnostic criteria of RIF.MethodsA retrospective analysis of the clinical data of patients (N=1518) aged under 40 years with two or more implantation failure, recruited from the Center for Reproductive Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to June 2019.ResultsAfter adjusting for confounding factors by using binary logistic regression, the results showed that partial general information and: distribution of associated factors were significant differences such as maternal age (aOR=1.054, P=0.001), type of cycle (aOR=2.040, P&lt;0.001), stage of embryos development (aOR=0.287, P&lt;0.001), number of embryos transferred (aOR=0.184, P&lt;0.001), female factor (tubal pathology) (aOR=0.432, P=0.031) and male factor (aOR=1.734, P=0.002) between the groups with two and three or more unexplained implantation failure. And further explored whether these differential factors had a significant negative impact on pregnancy outcome, the results showed that: for patients who had three unexplained implantation failure, in the fourth cycle of ET, the live birth rate decreased significantly with age (aOR=0.921, P&lt;0.001), and the live birth rate of blastocyst transfer was significantly higher than that of cleavage embryo transfer (aOR=1.826, P=0.007). At their first assisted pregnancy treatment after the diagnosis of RIF according to these two different definitions, there were no significant difference in the biochemical pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, ectopic pregnancy rate and abortion rate (P&gt;0.05), but the live birth rate (35.64% vs 42.95%, P=0.004) was significantly different. According to the definition of ‘two or more failed treatment cycles’, the live birth rate of the first ET treatment after RIF diagnosis was significantly lower than that of patients according to the definition of ‘three or more failed treatment cycles’.ConclusionFor patients with unexplained recurrent implantation failure, two implantation failure cannot be included in the diagnostic criteria of RIF. This study supports the generally accepted definition of three or more failed treatment cycles for RIF.

Live Birth Rates

This retrospective study examines the influence of recombinant growth hormone (rGH) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) adjuvants on oocyte numbers, embryo utilization and live births arising from 3637 autologous IVF±ICSI treatment cycles undertaken on 2376 women across ten years (2011-2020) within a pioneer Australian facility. Despite using an FSH-dosing algorithm enabling maximal doses up to 450 IU for women with reduced ovarian reserve, younger women had significantly higher mean numbers of oocytes recovered than older women ranging from 11.1 for women <35 years to 9.4 for women aged 35-39 years reducing to 6.5 for women aged 40-44 years and 4.1 for those aged ≥45 years (p<0.0001). Overall, the embryo utilization rate was 48.5% and live birth productivity rate was 35.4 % across all ages and neither rGH nor DHEA showed any benefit on these rates, in fact, those women with nil adjuvants showed the highest live birth rate per initiated cycle (44.94% overall: p<0.0001, and 55.2% for the youngest group: p<0.001). Embryo utilization was increased by rGH in those women aged 40-44 years who had low ovarian reserve (p<0.0001), but this benefit did not translate into any improvement in the live birth rate, in fact those women who did not use adjuvants had the highest overall birth rate (p<0.0001). Similarly, other factors known to cause a poor prognosis, including low IGF-1 profile, recurrent implantation failure, and low oocyte numbers at OPU, showed no improvement in embryo utilization nor in live births from the adjuvants. The relevance of embryo quality was examined on 1135 women whose residual embryos after a single fresh-embryo transfer failed to develop to a suitable grade for cryopreservation. From 1727 cycles such women often displayed an improved embryo utilization rate with both rGH, and with DHEA or combined rGH+DHEA. Even so, live birth rates were not improved by either of the adjuvants excepting young women <35 years using rGH without DHEA (p<0.05). Examining poor prognosis sub-groups, indicated both rGH and DHEA or combined rGH+DHEA consistently improved embryo utilization in those women with low ovarian reserve (p<0.0001), or those with low IGF-1 levels (p<0.0001) or with recurrent implantation failure (p<0.02). All the poor-prognosis sub-groups showed low live birth rates and, notwithstanding the improvements in embryo utilization, the live birth rates were not significantly improved by the adjuvants, albeit the rates were closer to the nil adjuvant groups (not significantly different).

Abstract Background: The efficacy and reproductive outcomes of progestin primed ovarian stimulation protocol (PPOS) were previously compared to rarely used ovarian stimulation protocol and also the live birth rate were reported by per embryo transfer rather than cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs). Does the use of PPOS improve the cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs) and shorten time to live birth when compared to long GnRH agonist protocol in women with normal ovarian reserve?Methods: A retrospective cohort study was designed to include women aged<40 with normal ovarian reserve (regular menstrual cycles, FSH <10 IU/L, antral follicle count >5) undergoing IVF from January 2017 to December 2019. The primary outcome was cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs) within 18 months from the day of ovarian stimulation.Results: A total of 995 patients were analyzed. They used either PPOS (n=509) or long GnRH agonist (n=486) protocol at the discretion of the attending physicians. Both groups had almost comparable demographic and cycle stimulation characteristics except for duration of infertility which was shorter in the PPOS group. In the GnRH agonist group 372 cases (77%) completed fresh embryo transfer, resulting into 218 clinical pregnancies and 179 live birth. The clinical pregnancy rate, ongoing pregnancy, and live birth per transfer were 58.6%, 54.0%, 53.0% respectively. In the PPOS, no fresh transfer was carried out. During the study period, the total number of initiated FET cycles with thawed embryos was 665 in the PPOS group and 259 in the long agonist group. Of all FET cycles, a total of 206/662 (31.1%) cycles resulted in a live birth in the PPOS group versus 110/257 (42.8%) in the long agonist group (OR: 0.727; 95% CI: 0.607–0.871; p<0.001) .The implantation rate of total FET cycles was also lower in the PPOS group compared with that in the agonist group 293/1004 (29.2%) and 157/455 (34.5%) (OR: 0.846; 95% CI: 0.721–0.992; p= 0.041). Cumulative live birth rates after one complete IVF cycle including fresh and subsequent frozen embryo cycles within 18 months follow up were significantly lower in the PPOS group compared that in the long agonist group 206/509 (40.5%) and 307/486 (63.2%), respectively (OR: 0.641; 95% CI: 0.565-0.726). The average time from ovarian stimulation to pregnancy and live birth was significantly shorter in the long agonist group compared to the PPOS group (p<0.01) In Kaplan-Meier analysis, the cumulative incidence of ongoing pregnancy leading to live birth was significantly higher in the long agonist compared in the PPOS group(Log rank test, p<0.001). Cox regression analysis revealed stimulation protocol adopted was strongly associated with the cumulative live birth rate after adjusting other confounding factors (OR =1.917 (1.152-3.190), p=0.012) .Conclusion: Progestin primed ovarian stimulation was associated with a lower cumulative live birth rates and a longer time to pregnancy / live birth than the long agonist protocol in women with a normal ovarian reserve.
