Abstract

Purpose

To compare the clinical outcomes after day 3 embryo transfer, day 5 single blastocyst transfer (SBT) and frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in high responder patients (>15 retrieved oocytes) undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of three embryo transfer strategies for the high responder patients in IVF/ICSI cycles. The 1041 high responder patients diagnosed as primary infertility with more than 15 oocytes retrieved were recruited in Day 3 ET group, 308 patients with more than 15 oocytes retrieved first transferred with one blastocyst in SBT group and 425 patients with more than 15 oocytes retrieved in fresh cycle, first transferred with one frozen-thawed blastocyst were assigned in FET group.

Results

In the high responder patients, the clinical pregnancy rate after day 5 SBT was significantly lower than that of day 3 ET (43.18 % VS 57.16 %, p < 0.05). In addition, the clinical pregnant rate and implantation rate of FET cycles were significantly higher than SBT cycles (59.06 % vs. 43.18 % and 64.70 % vs. 47.40 %, p < 0.05). The multiple pregnancy rate in FET cycles was markedly lower than that of day 3 ET (2.35 % VS 34.97 %, p < 0.05).

Conclusions

FET was the preferable strategy for the high responder patients in IVF/ICSI cycles to obtain both desirable clinical outcome and lower multiple pregnancy rates.
