Abstract
Research question
Do the various forms of hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptives have any association with ovarian stimulation outcomes, such as oocyte yield and maturation, in patients undergoing planned oocyte cryopreservation (POC)?
Design
This retrospective cohort study included all patients who underwent POC cycles between 2011 and 2023. The use of types of contraception before a POC cycle was recorded. The study evaluated the median number of cumulus–oocyte complexes obtained after vaginal oocyte retrieval and the proportion of metaphase II oocytes that underwent vitrification among all the cohorts.
Results
A total of 4059 oocyte freezing cycles were included in the analysis. Eight types of contraceptive method were recognized in patients undergoing ovarian stimulation: intrauterine device (IUD), copper (n = 84); IUD, levonorgestrel low dose (<52 mg) (n = 37); IUD, levonorgestrel (n = 192); subdermal etonogestrel implant (n = 14); injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate (n = 11); etonogestrel vaginal ring (n = 142); combined oral contraceptive pills (n = 2349); and norelgestromin transdermal patch (n = 10). The control group included patients not using contraceptives or using barrier or calendar methods (n = 1220). Among all the cohorts the median number of cumulus–oocyte complexes retrieved during oocyte retrieval was comparable (P = 0.054), and a significant difference in oocyte maturity rate with median number of vitrified oocytes was found (P = 0.03, P < 0.001, respectively). After adjusting for confounders a multivariate analysis found no association between the type of contraceptive and proportion of metaphase II oocytes available for cryopreservation.
Conclusions
Among the various forms of contraception, none was shown to have an adverse association with oocyte yield or maturation rate in patients undergoing POC.
期刊介绍:
Reproductive BioMedicine Online covers the formation, growth and differentiation of the human embryo. It is intended to bring to public attention new research on biological and clinical research on human reproduction and the human embryo including relevant studies on animals. It is published by a group of scientists and clinicians working in these fields of study. Its audience comprises researchers, clinicians, practitioners, academics and patients.
Context:
The period of human embryonic growth covered is between the formation of the primordial germ cells in the fetus until mid-pregnancy. High quality research on lower animals is included if it helps to clarify the human situation. Studies progressing to birth and later are published if they have a direct bearing on events in the earlier stages of pregnancy.
