| Abstract | The results of 74 in vitro fertilization cycles at the Ljubljana University women's hospital from January 1989 to November 1990 are presented. The duration of infertility was 8.5+3.0 years. Human menopausal gonadotrophin and chorionic gonadotrophin were used in 69 stimulated cycles, Clomiphen, human menopausal gonadotrophin and chorionic gonadotrophin were used in one cycte and gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogues with human menopausal gonadotrophin and chorionic gonadotrophin were used in 4 cycles. Positive puncture rate was 97 per cent . The average number of oocytes retrieved was 6.14+3.14. Fertilization rate was 47 per cent. The cleavage rate was 88 per cent , 54 embryotransfers were performed. The average number of embryos transferred was 3.3; 54 embryotransfers were followed by 11 clinical pregnancies. The overall clinical pregnancy rate per transfer was 20 per cent. Ten pregnancies ended as a five birth and there was one spontaneous abortion in the tenth week of gestation. Live birth rate per transfer was 19 per cent and 14 per cent per puncture, respectively. Thirtyfour embryotransfers to the uterus were followed by 10 live births (clinical pregnancy rate 29 per cent ) and 20 retrograde transfers to the tubes were followed by one clinical pregnancy (clinical pregnancy rate 5 per cent ). The success of intrauterine transfer was significantly higher (p less th. 0.05). Transcervical retrograde tubal transfer of embryos does nor seem to have any advantage over the classical transfer to the uterus. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters). | |
