Abstract

Objective

To determine the effect of luteinized unruptured follicle (LUF) cycles on frozen thawed embryo transfer (FET).

Design

A retrospective analysis comparing the clinical outcomes after FET among 144 cases of luteinized unruptured follicle (LUF) cycles and 866 cases of ovulation cycles.

Setting

Reproductive medical center, Beijing China.

Patients

Chinese infertile women who underwent FET.

Interventions

None.

Main outcome measures

Clinical pregnancy rate (PR), implantation rate.

Results

The implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, on-going pregnancy rate and live birth rate in LUF group were 12.76% (49/384), 27.78% (40/144), 24.31% (35/144) and 19.44% (28/144), respectively, and in ovulation group, 14.74% (332/2251), 31.29% (271/866), 28.29% (245/866) and 22.23% (193/866), respectively (p > 0.05).

Conclusions

LUF does not affect the clinical outcomes of FET. Patients of LUF should be included in FET treatment.
