Ovulatory-cycle frozen embryo transfer: spontaneous or triggered ovulation and the impact of LH elevation at hCG triggering
The effect of the luteinizing hormone (LH) elevation before the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger in ovulatory frozen-thawed embryo transfer (Ovu-FET) cycles has not been determined. We aimed to investigate whether triggering ovulation in Ovu-FET cycles affects the live birth rate (LBR), an...

description | The effect of the luteinizing hormone (LH) elevation before the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger in ovulatory frozen-thawed embryo transfer (Ovu-FET) cycles has not been determined. We aimed to investigate whether triggering ovulation in Ovu-FET cycles affects the live birth rate (LBR), and the contribution of elevated LH at the time of hCG trigger. This retrospective study included Ovu-FET cycles performed in our center from August 2016 to April 2021. Modified Ovu-FET (hCG trigger) and true Ovu-FET (without hCG trigger) were compared. The modified group was divided according to whether hCG was administered, before or after LH increased to > 15 IU/L and was twice the baseline value. The modified (n = 100) and true (n = 246) Ovu-FET groups and both subgroups of the modified Ovu-FET, those who were triggered before (n = 67) or after (n = 33) LH elevation, had comparable characteristics at baseline. Comparison of true vs. modified Ovu-FET outcomes revealed similar LBR (35.4% vs. 32.0%; P = 0.62), respectively. LBR were similar between the modified Ovu-FET subgroups regardless of the hCG trigger timing (31.3% before vs. 33.3% after LH elevation; P = 0.84). In conclusion, LBR of Ovu-FET were not affected by hCG trigger or whether LH was elevated at the time of hCG trigger. These results add reassurance regarding hCG triggering even after LH elevation. |
