Should embryos developing to blastocysts on day 7 be cryopreserved and transferred: an analysis of pregnancy and implantation rates.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To compare pregnancy rates (PRs) using blastocysts cryopreserved on day 7 with those cryopreserved on days 5 and 6. DESIGN:Retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING:Infertility center performing IVF. PATIENT(S):Eight hundred women with infertility undergoing frozen ET. INTERVENTION(S):Blastocysts cryopreserved on days 5, 6, and 7 after retrieval were thawed and transferred. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Ongoing PRs (pregnancy developing appropriately into the second trimester). Thaw survival, implantation rates, and clinical PRs were also calculated. RESULT(S):A total of 1,406 embryos were thawed with a survival of 90.7% for day 5, 83.7% for day 6, and 78.7% for day 7. Implantation rates were 43.3%, 28.9%, and 28.9%, respectively. Ongoing PRs were 43.9%, 32.9%, and 26.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION(S):Blastocysts cryopreserved on day 7 have a lower, but clinically important potential. Embryos that do not achieve blastocyst stage on day 6 should not be universally discarded, but should be observed in culture 1 more day as 27% may result in an ongoing pregnancy.
