Article Abstract
Introduction: In recent years, the use of frozen embryo transfers (FET) has rapidly increased following the freeze-all strategy due to the advantages of increased maternal safety, improved pregnancy rates, lower ectopic pregnancy rates and better obstetric and neonatal outcomes. Currently, there is still no good scientific evidence to support when to perform FET following a stimulated in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycle in the freeze-all strategy.
Methods/analysis: This will be a randomised controlled trial. A total of 828 women undergoing their first FET following their first stimulated IVF cycle in the freeze-all strategy will be enrolled and randomised into one of the following groups according to a computer-generated randomisation list: (1) the immediate group, in which FET will be performed in the first menstrual cycle following the stimulated IVF cycle; or (2) the delayed group, in which FET will be performed at least in the second menstrual cycle following the stimulated IVF cycle. The primary outcome will be live birth, which is defined as the delivery of any infants at ≥22 gestational weeks with heartbeat and breath.
Ethics/dissemination: Ethical approval was granted by the Ethics Committee of Assisted Reproductive Medicine at the Shanghai JiAi Genetics & IVF Institute (JIAI E2019-15). Written informed consent will be obtained from each woman before any study procedure is performed, according to good clinical practice. The results of this trial will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal.
Trial Registration Number: NCT04371783.

Correlation Between Fertility Stress, Psychological Capital, and Conjugal Communication Patterns in Hospitalized Patients with Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome During in vitro Fertilization-Embryo Transfer Cycles.

Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a distressing complication of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) that can amplify emotional and psychological burden. Fertility-related stress is influenced by individual psychological resources and the quality of marital communication. However, limited research has examined these associations in patients hospitalized with OHSS.

Introduction: Several studies indicate that a specific genotype profile could influence ovarian sensitivity to exogenous gonadotropin. However, most of the previous studies were observational and retrospective and thereby more prone to bias. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of gonadotropin single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the outcomes of fertilization (IVF) in infertile patients undergoing their first ovarian stimulation (OS) cycle.

Purpose: Prior studies in fresh embryo transfer IVF cycles have associated elevated serum progesterone level on day of ovulatory trigger, particularly if ≥ 1.5 ng/ml, with decreased pregnancy rates. A similar association has been found in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles using gonadotropins for ovulation induction.

Research Objective: Among singleton live births resulting from donor oocyte cycles, do perinatal outcomes differ between single (SET) and double embryo transfers (DET)?
Methods: We utilized a retrospective cohort of 610 recipients who had a singleton livebirth following nonidentified vitrified donor oocyte IVF cycle from a fertility clinic in the southeast US, 2008-2016. Perinatal outcomes included gestational age and birth weight. Preterm birth was defined as <37 weeks and low birth weight was defined as <2500 grams.
Optimizing IVF lab workflows through data-driven insights: associations between lab management, procedural timings, and workload with blastulation rates.

Study Question: Do IVF laboratory workflows influence the mean blastulation rate per cohort of inseminated metaphase II oocytes (m-BR)?
Summary Answer: Neither the total number of procedures nor the workload per operator affected m-BR; instead, each additional hour in the interval from ovulation trigger to oocyte denudation (range 36-44 h) was associated with a measurable decline, especially beyond the 40-h threshold.
What Is Known Already: Control of laboratory conditions and standardized protocols are essential for optimizing m-BR in IVF. While advancements in technology and culture systems have improved ART outcomes, the effect of laboratory managerial decisions and procedural timing on embryological outcomes remains unclear.
