Abstract
Supernumary pronucleated stage oocytes (PN) can be cryopreserved and later transferred in spontaneous, stimulated or artificial cycles. In this study, we re-evaluated 342 artificial cycles with a transdermal estradiol release system (Estraderm TTS 100®) in combination with a vaginal progesterone delivery system (Crinone® 8%). Endometrial thickness and serum estradiol on day 14 were correlated with clinical and ongoing pregnancy rates. Endometrial thickness between 7 and 15mm did not relate to significantly different pregnancy rates. The estradiol serum level did not predict success. In conclusion, this method of endometrial preparation is comfortable for patients and monitoring is unnecessary.
