Abstract:
Background A descriptive analysis of patients who underwent various embryo transfer methods to address the root cause of their infertility at a tertiary infertility care complex in Wardha, India, is presented herein. This analysis aims to evaluate the management of infertility and assess pregnancy outcomes. Methodology We conducted a retrospective cohort study on patients who underwent various embryo transfer methods to address the cause of their infertility, specifically focusing on a variable window of implantation (WOI) at a tertiary infertility clinic over a one-year period. The medical records of 11 patients in both the variable embryo transfer (VET) and control groups were reviewed and analyzed for this article. Results The examination of medical records revealed a significant improvement in the rate of implantation (p-value = 0.04) and clinical pregnancy outcomes (p-value = 0.03) among patients who underwent VET. Comparable statistical outcomes were observed for other variables of pregnancy outcome, including miscarriage rate, multiple pregnancy rate, and biochemical pregnancy rate. Conclusion This retrospective cohort study suggests that the utilization of VET could be a viable option for women experiencing recurrent implantation failure cycles, particularly when an adequate number of embryos are available. This is owing to the challenges in clinically diagnosing a variable WOI. Further studies with a significantly larger sample population are recommended to validate the results and integrate this approach into the standard operating procedures, aiming to enhance the likelihood of pregnancy in these populations.
