    Single blastocyst transfer shows promise for older women undergoing fertility treatments. This approach achieved significant ongoing pregnancy rates, supporting its use in select patient groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Embryology
    • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

    Background:

    • Assessing the efficacy of elective single blastocyst transfer (eSBCT) in a cohort of 19 patients.
    • Focusing on patients with a mean age of 36.3 years, a demographic often associated with reduced fertility outcomes.

    Discussion:

    • The study evaluated pregnancy rates following both fresh and frozen embryo transfers.
    • Comparing eSBCT outcomes against established benchmarks for assisted reproductive technologies.
    • Analyzing the safety and effectiveness of transferring a single blastocyst in older women.

    Key Insights:

    • An ongoing pregnancy rate of 53% was observed following fresh embryo transfer.
    • Including thaw cycles, the overall ongoing pregnancy rate increased to 68%.

  • These results indicate that eSBCT is a viable option for older patients undergoing IVF.

    • Outlook:

    • Further research with larger cohorts is warranted to confirm these findings.
    • Exploring patient selection criteria to optimize success rates for eSBCT.
    • Investigating the long-term outcomes and cumulative pregnancy rates associated with eSBCT.
