Abstract:Objective To explore the reasons and strategies for the low rate of fresh-cycle transplantation with antagonist regimen among women with normal ovarian response.Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted, infertile patients who were underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and oocyte-retrieval by antagonist or agonist protocol in the reproductive center of 900 thhospital were enrolled. The antagonist group was further divided into fresh embryo transfer sub-group and elevated progesterone sub-group. The clinical and laboratory status including total dosesδlength of Gn,high-quality embryo,the cumulative live birth rate per cycle,the cancellation rate and reason of embryo transfer(ET) were compared.Results There was no significant difference in the total amount of Gn, the status of induced ovulation and embryo development,and the cumulative live birth rate per cycle. There was no significant difference in clinical pregnancy rate, abortion rate, ectopic pregnancy rate. The cancellation rate of embryo transfer was 36.1%, which was higher than those of agonist protocol (18.7%). The increase of progesterone in late follicular stage was the main reason for the cancellation of fresh cycle transplantation in antagonist regimen, and the proportion was significantly higher than that in agonist regimen. 82 cases in the fresh cycle of antagonist regimen were cancelled due to elevated progesterone in late follicular phase. Compared with 228 cases in the fresh transplantation cycle of this regimen, it was found that after estradiol pretreatment, the serum estradiol was lower and the serum LH was higher in the group of cancellation of progesterone in late follicular phase; When antagonists were added earlier, the number of follicles and progesterone were higher on the day of adding antagonists; On the trigger day, serum estradiol and progesterone were higher, and the number of qualified eggs was more, the difference was statistically significant; However, there was no significant difference in the total amount of GN, total days of GN, number of excellent embryos and number of high-quality blastocysts between the two subgroups.Conclusion Although the cancellation rate of fresh cycle transfer of antagonist protocol was higher than that of agonist protocol among women with normal ovarian response, the cumulative live birth rate of each oocyte retrieval cycle is close. The increase of progesterone in late follicular phase was the main factor for the high cancellation rate of fresh embryo transplantation with antagonist protocol. The adverse response of estrogen pretreatment may be the main reason for the increase of progesterone in late follicular phase.
