ART in Clinic of Infertility INTERMEDICA: 2 years experience

Abstract Materials and methods : Data from 381 fresh embryo transfers have been collected: IVF—207 transfers, ICSI—151, mixed ones—23. Female patients who underwent reproductive technology were between 21 and 47 years of age. Results : For the IVF-derived embryos, a pregnancy rate per transfer was 38.9%, and a clinical pregnancy rate—24.4%, while for ICSI, respectively 33.8% and 23.3%. Mixed-derived embryos provided respective values of 47.8% and 47.8%. Implantation rates among IVF, ICSI and mixed-ART-derived embryos were 16.4%, 15%, 27.6%, respectively. Frozen embryo transfer was performed 54 times. Infertile couples seeking for assisted reproductive technique were categorized into seven main subgroups: Fallopian tube factor, uterine factor, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, ovary factor, male factor, idiopathic infertility. In a group with endometriosis, relatively high rate of pregnancy was observed—29.4%. High rate of successful pregnancies was also observed in PCO syndrome patients when calculating per cycle (27.8%), aspiration (35.7%) or transfer (38.5%). The cumulative rate of abortions was 20.1% for IVF-derived pregnancies, 19.0% for ICSI-derived pregnancies and 9% abortions for mixed embryo provenience. Conclusions : Quality of embryo and speed of its development may be the best indicators for successful pregnancy disregarding the embryo provenience.
