Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of the number and quality of embryos transferred from fresh embryo with antagonist regimen on pregnancy outcome of assisted reproductive technology.
Methods The data of 308 patients with fresh embryo transfer cycle antagonist regimen were retrospectively analyzed.According to the number of embryos transferred and number of high-quality embryos, they were divided into 3 groupsgroup A(transfer of 1 high-quality embryo), group B1(transfer of 1 high-quality embryo +1 non-high-quality embryo), and group B2(transfer of 2 high-quality embryos).The differences of general information, ovulation induction, laboratory data and pregnancy outcome were compared among all groups.
Results The infertility years in group A was lower than that in group B2(P < 0.05).The number of transferable embryos, high-quality embryos and frozen embryos in group A were higher than that in group B1, the number of transferable embryos and high-quality embryos in group A were lower than that in group B2, and the number of eggs obtained, number of oocyte with metaphase Ⅱ(MⅡ), number of embryos with two pronuclear(2PN), transferable embryos, high-quality embryos and frozen embryos in group B1 were lower than those in group B2(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).The differences of positive rate of human chorionic gonadotropin(β-hCG), clinical pregnancy rate, implantation rate and live birth rate were statistically significant among three groups(P < 0.01), and the above indexes in group B2 were higher than those in groups A and B1(P < 0.05).The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome(OHSS) and multiple pregnancies occurred in group B2.The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the number of antral follicle number(AFC), number of high-quality embryos and transfer of two high-quality embryos were the protective factors of clinical pregnancy(P < 0.05-P < 0.01).
Conclusions For patients using GnRH antagonist protocol during fresh embryo transfer cycle, transfer one high-quality embryo and one non-high-quality embryo can not improve the clinical pregnancy rate.Although adding one high-quality embryo to transfer can improve the clinical pregnancy rate, the multiple pregnancy rate will also increase significantly.The incidence of OHSS in GnRH antagonist protocol is lower.
