A retrospective cohort study that analyzed 219 cryopreserved embryo transfer cycles at the National Reproductive Center from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Objective: compare the pregnancy rate of frozen embryo transfer between two groups oocyte trigger by GnRH agonist versus hCG. Result(s): The main causes of infertility in both groups were ovulation disorders and tubal problems: 79/110 (71.8%), 12/110 (13.6%) in the GnRHa group and 68/109(62.3%), 21/109(19.3%) in the hCG group The mean AMH concentration in the GnRH agonist group was higher than in the hCG group (7.3 ±  4.6 ng/ml vs 4.2 ± 2.1 ng/ml). The mean number of secondary follicles in the GnRHa group (25.8 ± 9.9 follicles) was higher than that in the hCG group (18.1 ± 8.5 follicles) The average first dose of FSH: 188.4 ± 44.4 UI (GnRH group) was lower than 226.4 ± 51.5 UI (hCG group). Patients in the GnRHa group had a higher number of oocytes obtained than in the hCG group (22.9 ± 8.8 oocytes versus 16.8 ± 5.8 oocytes); the mean number of MII mature oocytes was higher (17.5 ± 8.4 oocytes vs 13.5 ± 5.0); the average number of embryos was higher (9.3 ± 5.3 embryos compared with the hCG group was 6.2 ± 3.7 embryos). However, the proportion of mature MII oocytes was similar (77.3% in the GnRHa group vs 81.5% in the hCG group) and the fertilization rate was similar (72.2% in the GnRHa group versus 74.7% in the hCG group). The pregnancy outcomes of the two groups inducing oocyte maturation by GnRHa and hCG were similar: pregnancy rate (63.7% vs 54.1%), clinical pregnancy rate (50.1 vs 45%) ) and ongoing pregnancy rate (44.5 vs 39.4).


Conclusion(s):Oocyte maturation with GnRHagonist had no effect on pregnancy rates after frozen embryo transfer cycles. Pregnancy rates after frozen embryo transfer in the oocyte maturation group with GnRH agonists and hCG were similar.


Keywords: oocyte maturation, GnRH agonist, hCG, cryopreserved embryo transfer.
