Bleeding during transfer is the only parameter of patient anatomy and embryo quality that affects reproductive outcome: a prospective study.
2009
There is very little information available regarding the relevance of the position of embryo replacement during ET and the different anatomic characteristics of the recipient in the transfer process and on the result of assisted reproduction techniques. We prospectively analyzed, using multivariate regression analysis, 375 ETs, 177 of which were from donated oocytes and 198 from patients' own oocytes, and we found no effect of the anatomic characteristics of the uterus on the chances of achieving pregnancy when data were analyzed according to patient age and embryo quality. Interestingly, there was a significant decrease in pregnancy rates when blood was present in the catheter after the pr…

Objective To compare embryo quality and reproductive outcome in our IVF program according to the women's body mass index (BMI). Design Retrospective study. Setting University-affiliated infertility clinic, between January 2001 and April 2007. Patient(s) Women undergoing a total of 6,500 IVF–intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. Intervention(s) Six thousand five hundred IVF-ICSI cycles were included and divided into four groups: lean ( 2 ; n=1,070; 16.5%); normal (20–24.9 kg/m 2 ; n=3,930; 60.5%); overweight (25–29.9 kg/m 2 ; n=1,081; 16.6%); and obese (≥30 kg/m 2 ; n=419; 6.4%). Main Outcome Measure(s) Comparison of embryo quality and reproductive outcome (implantation, pregnancy,…
