Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of supernumerary preovulatory follicular reduction as an approach to avoid multiple pregnancies in ovulation induction or superovulation cycles. DESIGN:Retrospective study. SETTING:Tertiary referral center. PATIENT(S):In 26 cycles, 24 patients underwent ovulation induction or superovulation with either clomiphene citrate or hMG. INTERVENTION(S):Selective follicle aspiration was performed before hCG administration. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Clinical pregnancy rate and numbers of multiple pregnancies. RESULT(S):A mean number of 4.5 follicles with a diameter > or =15 mm and a mean number of 4.5 follicles with a diameter < or =14 mm were observed before hCG administration. A mean number of 2.3 follicles with a diameter > or =15 mm and a mean number of 1.8 follicles with a diameter < or =14 mm were aspirated before the hCG administration. Seven singleton pregnancies (26.9% per cycle) ensued from the treatment. CONCLUSION(S):Aspiration of supernumerary follicles after ovulation induction or superovulation seems to be a valid approach to avoid multiple pregnancies without affecting pregnancy rate.
