    Multiple embryo transfer significantly increases in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates. While embryo quality is crucial, transferring more embryos remains key to achieving pregnancy until reliable predictors of embryo health are developed.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Gynecology
    • Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Laparoscopy is a common procedure for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET).
    • Various ovulation induction protocols, including clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG), are used to stimulate oocyte production.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the success rates of IVF and ET based on different hyperstimulation protocols and the number of embryos transferred.
    • To identify factors influencing pregnancy outcomes in IVF cycles.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 372 patients undergoing laparoscopy for IVF/ET.
    • Comparison of pregnancy rates among patients treated with clomiphene citrate alone, clomiphene citrate plus hMG, and hMG alone.
    • Evaluation of the impact of the number of embryos transferred on implantation and pregnancy rates.

    Main Results:

    • A total of 55 pregnancies resulted from 272 embryo transfers.
    • Transferring four embryos significantly increased the pregnancy rate compared to fewer embryos.
    • Cycles using supplementary hMG yielded more oocytes and embryos than clomiphene citrate alone.
    • Fewer than 10% of transferred embryos implanted, highlighting the importance of multiple embryo transfer.

    Conclusions:

    • Multiple embryo transfer is currently a major factor in improving IVF and ET success rates.
    • Unsuccessful cycles may be due to poorer embryo quality, non-receptive endometria, or a combination of factors.
    • A reliable predictor of embryo health is urgently needed to optimize IVF outcomes and reduce the incidence of multiple pregnancies.
