ASRM standard embryo transfer protocol template: a committee opinion.

Fertil Steril

American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Birmingham, Alabama.

Published: April 2017

Standardization improves performance and safety. A template for standardizing the embryo transfer procedure is presented here with 12 basic steps supported by published scientific literature and a survey of common practice of SART programs; it can be used by ART practices to model their own standard protocol.

To explore the impact of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) on the pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) complicated by chronic endometriti (CE). A total of 138 patients with RIF combined with CE who underwent in vitro fertilization/intracytoplamic sperm injection treatment-embryo transfer in the Department of Reproductive Medicine, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively included. According to the endometrial preparation protocol, they were divided into two groups: the pituitary downregulation group (=59) and the artificial cycle group (=79).

Objective: Successful embryo implantation is contingent upon the intricate interaction between the endometrium and the blastocyst. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) signifies the clinical challenge of failing pregnancy post-transfer of high-quality embryos, fresh or frozen, in at least three in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, often in women under 40 years. Recent studies identify impaired blastocyst maternal tissue communication among recurrent implantation failure causes.

Legal framework and IVF outcomes: a comparative analysis of fresh and frozen embryo transfers in Switzerland.

Research Question: To what extent do legislative measures impact standard reproductive outcome parameters?

Design: Retrospective cohort study using data from the Swiss national IVF registry analysing the outcomes of 13,908 women undergoing embryo transfers resulting from their first lifetime oocyte retrieval before (2014-2016) or after (2020-2022) revision of the legislation, allowing extended culture for 12 zygotes. Live birth rates (LBR) and cumulative LBR (cLBR) were compared in fresh and frozen embryo transfer strategies in both periods. Adjusted multivariable mixed model analyses were performed to determine OR and incidence rate ratios (IRR).

Objective: To build a prediction nomogram for early prediction of live birth probabilities according to number of oocytes retrieved in women ≤ 35 years of age.

Methods: A prediction model was built including 9265 infertile women ≤ 35 years of age accepting their first ovum pick-up cycle from January 2018 to December 2022. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was performed to identify independent predictors and establish a nomogram to predict reproductive outcomes.
