Abstract:Objective: To explore the effect of live birth per cycle, number of live births per mature oocyte and the number of mature oocytes per live birth according to ovarian ageing and ovarian response. Methods: A total of 1637 ICSI-ET cycles from January 2012 to February 2014 in Reproductive Medicine Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College were retrospectively analyzed. Live birth per cycle, number of live births per mature oocyte and number of mature oocytes per live birth were further analysed in relation to the age or ovarian response. The clinical outcomes were compared. Results: The data presented in this study showed that the number of live births per mature oocyte and the number of oocytes per live birth remained remarkably stable between the age of 23 and 37 years. After the age of 37 years number of live births per mature oocyte began to decrease gradually but from 40 years of age it dropped dramatically, and the number of mature oocytes per live birth increased. On the other hand, the pregnancy rate per cycle increased with the number of retrieved oocytes, so the pregnancy rate per cycle was highly dependent on ovarian response. Compared between the three ovarian response group, number of live births per mature oocyte was lower (P<0.01) and the the number of oocytes per live birth was higher (P<0.01) in the response group with more mature oocytes, which indicated that the ovarian stimulation might affect the reproductive potential of the individual oocyte. Conclusion: These data are extremely valuable as they provide information on the expected outcome in women undergoing fertility preservation. Moreover, it is crucial in the prediction of IVF success and patient counseling and considering the launching oocyte freezing for fertility preservation in our center.
