ÖZET
Amaç: Donma çözme embriyo transfer sikluslarında gerçek doğal siklusun başarısını araştırmak amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif kohort analizde Ocak 2022 ile Temmuz 2023 tarihleri arasında gerçek doğal siklus ile yapılan donma çözme embriyo transferi yapılan 23 vaka değerlendirilmiştir. Gerçek doğal siklus embriyo transferinde hCG tetikleme ve luteal faz desteği kullanılmamıştır. Çalışmadaki ana amaçlar, implantasyon ve klinik gebelik oranları olarak belirlenmiştir. Ortalama transfer edilen embriyo sayısı, ortalama transfer edilen menstrüel siklus günü, LH pik günü (>17iu/ml) ortalama en yüksek estradiol düzeyi, ve embriyo transferi günü ortalama serum progesteron düzeyleri değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Ortalama transfer edilen embriyo sayısı 1.7, ortalana implantasyon ve klinik gebelik oranları sırası ile %55.8 ve % 69,5 olarak saptanmıştır. Hastalardan 12’sine tek embriyo, 11’ine ise 2 embriyo transferi yapılmıştır. Preimplantasyon genetik analiz yapılan 8 hastaya tek euploid embriyo transferi yapılmıştır, ve bu hastalardan 7’si (%87.5) gebe kalmıştır. Ortalama transfer edilen menstrüel siklus günü 19,38±1.67 (17-23), LH pik günü ortalama serum estradiol 307,5±102,5 pg/ml (78-492 pg/ml), ve embriyo transfer günü ortalama serum progesteron düzeyi ise 24,33±16,4 (14.5-41) olarak saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Gerçek doğal siklus ile yapılan donma çözme embriyo transferi umut vaat eden başarılı bir alternatif olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Vaka sayıları az olmakla birlikte euploid embriyo transferi yapılan hastalarda gebelik oranları artmış gözükmektedir
ABSTRACT
Objective: To analyze the success rate of true natural cycle in patients undergoing frozen thawed embryo transfers. Materials and Methods: This retrospective analysis included ovulatory 23 women undergoing natural frozen embryo transfer cycles between January 2022 and July 2023. In true natural frozen embryo transfer cycles hCG trigger and luteal phase supplementation were not utilized. The mean number of embryos transferred, the mean menstrual day of embryo transfer, mean peak estradiol level on the day of LH surge (>17iu/ml), and mean serum progesterone levels on embryo transfer day were recorded. The main outcome measures included implantation and clinical pregnancy rates. Results: Mean number of embryos transferred was 1.7, the mean implantation and clinical pregnancy rates were 55.8% and 69,5% respectively. Among the patients, single embryo transfer was performed in 12 and double embryo transfer was performed in 11 subjects. With regard to preimplantation genetic analysis, 8 patients received single euploid embryo transfer and 7/8 (87.5%) conceived. The mean menstrual day of transfer was 19,38±1.67 days (range; 17-23 days), mean peak estradiol level on the day of LH surge (>17ıu/ml) was 307,5±102,5 pg/ml (range; 178-492 pg/ml), and the mean serum progesterone on the day of ET was 24,33±16,4 (range; 14.5-41). Conclusions: True natural cycle is a promising physiological alternative for patients undergoing frozen thawed embryo transfer cycles. Despite the numbers are low, the success rate seems to be higher in patients undergoing euploid embryo transfer.
