Embryo Aneuploidies and Ovarian Stimulation

March 25, 2010 updated by: Instituto Valenciano de Infertilidad, IVI VALENCIA

Incidence of EmbyoO Aneuploidies in Natural Versus Stimulated Cycles in the Same Women.

There is a considerable concern about the effects of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for In Vitro Fertilization- Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET) on embryo quality and on the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in oocytes and embryos.

The main question remaining is if COH may increase the aneuploidies rate in young and healthy women. Therefore, the primary endpoint of the present study is to analyse the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in this group of patients (oocyte donors), either in oocytes obtained after a natural cycle or in those retrieved after a COH cycle. To get rid of the male factor influence, donated sperm will be used.

Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: 1
Natural cycle oocyte donation
Active Comparator: 2

Stimulated cycle oocyte donation.

  • Long protocol down-regulation with a GnRH agonist, starting on the midluteal phase of the previous cycle with leuprolide acetate (0.2mg/day).
  • Once evidence of downregulation is documented, leuprolide will be halved to 0.1 mg daily.
  • COH with be carried on with gonadotropins (150UI/day of rFSH and 75 UI/day of HP-hMG). The dose can be adjusted according to ovarian response as judged by ultrasound and by serum oestradiol (E 2 ) concentrations.
Procedure: Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is performed on the embryos resulting from these natural and stimulated cycles.
