To investigate whether the outcome of a fresh embryo transfer can predict the results of subsequent frozen embryo transfers (FET) in patients undergoing single blastocyst transfer.
Approach:
Key Findings:
Patients in the non-pregnancy, biochemical pregnancy, and miscarriage groups had significantly lower chances of achieving biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, and live birth in subsequent FET cycles compared to the live birth group.
No significant differences were observed in the rates of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy among the four groups.
Interpretation:
The outcome of fresh embryo transfer can serve as a potential predictive indicator for subsequent FET pregnancy prognosis.
Limitations:
The study was retrospective and may have inherent biases.
Exclusion criteria may limit the generalizability of the findings.
Conclusion:
These findings provide valuable clinical guidance for individualized counseling and management of patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment.
