Abstract
Background: The effect of elevated progesterone level on human chorionic
gonadotropin (HCG) day in in vitro fertilization cycles is controversial. Some
suppose that rise in progesterone level seems to have a negative impact on
implantation and pregnancy by desynchronizing the endometrium, while others
disagree.
Objective: To evaluate the superiority of the frozen cycle over fresh cycle on live
birth in patients with elevated progesterone level on HCG day.
Materials and Methods: In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial, 72 women
undergoing assisted reproductive technology with elevated progesterone level (≥1.8
ng/dl) on HCG day were included. The participants were grouped by fresh versus
frozen embryo transfer, randomly. Finally, the clinical pregnancy and live birth rate
were compared.
Results: The implantation rate was 21.51%. The clinical pregnancy rate was 47.22%
in fresh embryo transfer group (17/36) and 41.66% in frozen group (15/36)
(p=0. 40). The live birth rate was not significantly difference between two groups
(p=0.56).
Conclusion: None of the fresh and frozen cycles are superior to the other and we
recommend individualizing the decision for each patient. The frozen cycle may
impose more emotional stress on patients.
