The impact of ovarian response on cumulative live birth rates.

Scriptie/Masterproef: Doctoral Thesis

Samenvatting

- In the era of antagonist protocol combined with the possibility of “freeze all” strategy, cumulative LBR steadily increase with the number of oocytes retrieved, reaching even 70% when ≥25 oocytes are harvested. - LBR in the fresh IVF/ICSI cycles do not differ significantly when comparing either high (>15 oocytes) versus normal (10-15 oocytes), or normal (10-15) versus suboptimal (4-9 oocytes) responders - The drop in fresh live birth rates in high responders could be attributed to the progressive increase in “freeze all” rates due to risk of OHSS - Suboptimal responders (4-9 oocytes retrieved) appear to form a distinct ovarian response category - Corifollitropin alfa followed by hp-HMG does not increase ongoing pregnancy rates, LBR and cumulative LBR rates compared with rFSH in young Bologna poor responders. - An increase in the gonadotropins’ dose in a subsequent IVF cycle may overcome the suboptimal response challenge
