Article Abstract
Background: Many variables, including woman's age, embryo quality and endometrial receptivity, influence the success rate of either fresh embryo transfer (ET) or frozen-thawed ET (FT-ET) cycles. This study aims to examine whether the results of a fresh in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle correlate with its frozen-thawed embryos transfer outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted in a tertiary medical center single IVF unit between 2014-2017. The study population was comprised of women who underwent fresh ET with the remaining embryos frozen using vitrification and at least one consecutive FT-ET cycle. Comparison of FT-ET cycle's details and outcomes were assessed in relation to the outcome of preceding fresh ET cycle.
Results: A total of 599 women underwent fresh ET and at least one consecutive FT-ET cycle. Significantly higher rates of successful FT-ET cycle outcomes were observed in the group of patients with a successful fresh cycle compared to the group with an unsuccessful fresh cycle (48.9% vs. 20.8%, P<0.001). Logistic regression demonstrated an adjusted OR of 5.02 for successful FT-ET after a successful fresh cycle.
Conclusions: Frozen-thawed embryos generated from successful fresh IVF cycles have higher potential to implant when compared to frozen-thawed embryos obtained in an unsuccessful fresh cycle.

This study in Turkey evaluated the impact of age-based mandatory single-embryo transfer (SET) legislation with the subsequent increase in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FT-EU) on pregnancy outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients. SET, FT-FT and double-embryo transfer were used in 5632 patients after legislation, while traditional IVF and FT-FT approach was used in 6029 patients before legislation. The cumulative pregnancy rate after legislation was slightly lower (38.

Background: Triggering ovulation by GnRH agonist (GnRHa) in GnRH antagonist IVF protocols coupled with adequate luteal phase support has recently been suggested as a means to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Our objective was to examine the outcome of fresh embryo transfer (f-ET) after triggering ovulation by GnRHa and providing intensive luteal phase supplementation, compared with that of the next first frozen-thawed embryo transfer (ft-ET) after cycles with the same protocol and cryopreservation of all the embryos.
Methods: We performed a cohort study at a university-based IVF clinic.

Background: A bolus dose of GnRH agonist can substitute for hCG as a trigger for the resumption of meiosis in ovarian stimulation with GnRH antagonists, which has been suggested to reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). As the efficacy of this measure in fresh embryo transfer (ET) cycles is unclear, we evaluated a new clinical concept of GnRH-agonist triggering.
Methods: In this prospective, observational proof-of-concept study, 20 patients considered at increased risk of developing OHSS (> or = 20 follicles > or = 10 mm or estradiol > or = 4000 pg/ml, or a history of cycle cancellation due to OHSS risk or the development of severe OHSS in a previous cycle) after ovarian stimulation and concomitant GnRH-antagonist administration had final oocyte maturation triggered with 0.
