Objective:
To evaluate the results of a gestational carrier program in terms of pregnancy rates in fresh and cryopreserved cycles.
Design:
Retrospective analysis.
Setting:
Private IVF program.
Patient(S):
Women with uterine or medical reasons for unsuccessful gestation.
Intervention(S):
In vitro fertilization of oocytes with fresh or cryopreserved ET to gestational carriers.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Pregnancy rates and deliveries.
Result(S):
A PR of 56.3% and a cycle rate of 30.8% was achieved in each patient <40 years of age in 117 cycles of fresh or cryopreserved ET. There were no pregnancies for nine patients >40 years of age in 27 cycles.
Conclusion(S):
Carrier gestation offers a satisfactory solution to childlessness caused by uterine or major medical factors.
