Association between the number of oocytes retrieved and cumulative live birth rate in IVF treatment: menopur in GnRH antagonist single embryo transfer - high responder (MEGASET-HR) trial outcomes

Although retrieval of high numbers of oocytes (>15) is linked with increased OHSS incidence, agonist trigger and freeze-only approaches nearly eliminate the severe form of the syndrome. Physicians therefore strategically pursue high oocyte yields and the prospect of high cumulative live birth rates, translated as increased efficiency at lower cost to patients. Although published data consistently shows no benefit of high response in fresh transfer cycles, the impact on cumulative live birth rates remains unclear.
