Abstract

We have reviewed 35 cycles in 27 patients who underwent IVF and ET with reasonable indications from March 1992 to February 1993. The method of ovarian hyperstimulation were FSH/hMG/hCG(N=10), GnRH agonist(N=24), C.C./hMG/hCG(N=1). The results were as follows ; 1) The mean age of patients was 33.04+/-4.17 and mean duration of infertility was 5.52+/-3.37 years. 2) Major indications for IVF and ET were tubal factor(77.80%), peritoneal factor(18.50%), and unexplained infertility(3.70%). 3) In the past history of patients, there were previous ectopic pregnancy in 5 cases(17.24%), previous tuboplasty in 5 cases(17.24%), pevic inflammatory disease in 4 cases(16.00%), and tuberculosis in 3 cases(12.00%). 4) The cancellation was only one case in FSH/hMG/hCG group. 5) The timing of hCG administration in FSH/hMG/hCG group was 9.56+/-1.50 day and GnRH-a group was 9.17+/-0.99 day. 6) The mean numbers of follicles larger than 16mm were 6.78+/-4.71 in FSH/hMG/hCG group and 5.33+/-3.82 in GnRH-a group. 7) The mean numbers of oocyte aspirated were 6.44+/-3.17 in FSH/hMG/hCG group and 5.54+/-2.27 in GnRH-a group. 8) The fertilization and cleavage rate was 59.93+/-33.91% in FSH/hMC/hCG group and 57.61+/-30.81 in GnRH-a group. 9) The mean number of embryos transfered were 4.56+/-3.69 in FSH/hMe/hCG group and 3.38+/-2.10 in GnRH-a group. 10) Pregnancy rate were 22.2% in FSH/hMG/hCC group and 25% in GnRH-a group. 11) There were 8 cases of pregnancies which consisted of two live births of 3 babies, 3 cases of ongoing pregnancies, one spontaneous abortion, two chemical pregnancies.
