Oocyte donation offers pregnancy options for women with gonadal issues or hereditary diseases. Steroid replacement cycles showed comparable pregnancy rates to natural cycles, enabling successful births.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Oocyte donation is a viable option for women with absent gonads, failed IVF, or hereditary disease concerns.
  • Artificial menstrual cycles are necessary for agonadal women undergoing oocyte donation.
  • Initial fixed steroid replacement protocols had limitations due to cycle synchrony and narrow implantation windows.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of oocyte donation and different hormonal protocols in achieving pregnancy.
  • To compare pregnancy rates between natural and steroid replacement cycles in recipients.
  • To assess the outcomes of pregnancies achieved through oocyte donation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized oocyte donation for women unable to conceive with their own gametes.

  • Employed both natural and steroid replacement cycles (oestradiol valerate and progesterone pessaries) for recipients.
  • Investigated strategies to overcome donor-recipient cycle asynchrony, including frozen-thawed embryos and extended follicular phases.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved 22 pregnancies, resulting in 13 healthy infant births.
    • No significant difference in pregnancy rates per transfer between natural (14%) and steroid replacement cycles (24%).
    • Five pregnancies (36%) resulted from a specific protocol using 2 mg oestradiol (E2) daily and progesterone (P4) support.

    Conclusions:

    • Oocyte donation, with or without steroid replacement, is effective in achieving pregnancy.
    • Steroid replacement cycles offer a viable alternative, with comparable success rates to natural cycles.
    • The study resulted in healthy births with no perinatal deaths or ectopic pregnancies, highlighting the safety of the procedures.
