Summary

Reducing embryo transfer in oocyte donation cycles can decrease triplet pregnancies without impacting overall pregnancy success. This study compared two-embryo versus three-embryo transfers in recipients.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • In Vitro Fertilization
  • Oocyte Donation

Background:

  • Oocyte donation cycles aim to achieve successful pregnancies.
  • Embryo transfer strategies significantly influence implantation and pregnancy outcomes.
  • Multiple pregnancies, especially triplets, carry increased risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare implantation and pregnancy rates between two-embryo and three-embryo transfers in oocyte recipients.
  • To evaluate the impact of embryo transfer quantity on multiple pregnancy rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective comparative analysis of oocyte recipients undergoing embryo transfer.
  • Data collected from a university-based in vitro fertilization center between 1997 and 1999.
  • Comparison of implantation, clinical pregnancy, and multiple pregnancy rates between two- and three-embryo transfer groups.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in pregnancy or implantation rates between two-embryo (n=73) and three-embryo (n=376) transfer groups.
  • Oocyte retrieval and embryo yield did not differ between groups.
  • Triplet pregnancies occurred in 13.8% of pregnancies in the three-embryo transfer group.

Conclusions:

  • Reducing embryo transfer to two in oocyte donation cycles can lower the incidence of triplet pregnancies.
  • This reduction can be achieved without a significant decrease in the overall pregnancy rate.
  • Optimizing embryo transfer numbers is crucial for improving safety and outcomes in oocyte donation.
