Summary
In vitro fertilization (IVF) and GIFT programs in 1989 Maribor resulted in 6 pregnancies. The most successful IVF protocol involved cycle synchronization with contraceptives and CC-HMG stimulation, achieving a 21.0% pregnancy rate.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Infertility Treatment
- Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)
Context:
- Presents the 1989 results of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) programs in Maribor.
- Details clinical pregnancies achieved through IVF, GIFT, and Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT).
- Highlights specific patient groups and treatment protocols utilized during the study period.
Purpose:
- To report the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures conducted in Maribor during 1989.
- To identify the most effective protocols for cycle stimulation and achieving pregnancy.
- To analyze pregnancy rates based on the cause of infertility, specifically tubal factors.
Summary:
- A total of 6 clinical pregnancies were achieved: 4 via IVF, 1 via GIFT, and 1 via ZIFT.
- The highest IVF pregnancy rate (18.1%) was observed in women with tubal factor infertility (4 pregnancies out of 22 embryo transfers).
- The most successful stimulation protocol combined cycle synchronization with contraceptives and CC-HMG, yielding a 21.0% pregnancy rate in 19 stimulated cycles; no pregnancies occurred in spontaneous cycles.
Impact:
- Provides historical data on ART success rates in a specific region and time period.
- Informs clinical practice by identifying a successful protocol for IVF cycle stimulation.
- Contributes to the understanding of factors influencing ART success in infertile patients.
