Higher live birth rate with stimulated rather than artificial cycle for frozen-thawed embryo transfer

ConclusionDespite a similar CPR, LBR was significantly higher with mild OS than with the AC preparation, even after adjusting for potential confounders. In light of these results, the first-line endometrial preparation could be OS instead of an AC. In an AC, a potential defect of the luteal phase may exist, treatment could be optimized to avoid pregnancy losses. A randomized controlled trial should be undertaken to assess the role of OS and ACs in FET.
