Abstract:
Objective: To identify if there are certain cutoff levels for P and or the P/E2 ratio on the day of hCG that would be defined as detrimental for occurrence of pregnancy in women with normal ovarian reserve undergoing cleavage-stage embryo transfer (ET). Secondarily, to determine if these same cutoffs might have the same potential negative effect in women undergoing blastocyst ET. Design: Prospective cohort study including two randomized cohorts. Setting: Private and university fertility centers. Participant(s): A total of 240 women undergoing long agonist protocol with at least four grade 1 day 3 embryos. Intervention(s): Women were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to undergo day 3 or day 5 embryo transfer. Main Outcome Measure(s): Clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) was the primary outcome. Result(s): Using receiver operator characteristics, cutoffs for P and P/E-2 ratio were 1.5 ng/mL and 0.55, respectively. Patients with P <= 1.5 ng/mL and P/E2 <= 0.55 undergoing cleavage-stage ET had higher CPR. Using multiple regression, P/E-2 ratio was the only independent predictor for pregnancy. The P and P/E-2 cutoffs were not correlated with CPR in blastocyst transfers. Conclusion(s): Progesterone > 1.5 ng/mL and P/E-2 > 0.55 affect the CPR in women undergoing cleavage-stage, but not blastocyst ET. P/E2 ratio is the only independent prognosticator for cycle outcome in women undergoing cleavage-stage ET. (Fertil Steril (R) 2011;95:1639-44. (C) 2011 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.)
