摘要:The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of transdermal E2 supplementation in the luteal phase of the patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) undergoing IVF treat- ment. The present study was a prospective, single- centre, randomized, controlled, group-compara- tive clinical trial assessing E2 supplementation during luteal phase in PCOS women undergoing ICSI-ET. Patients were randomized into the study group (n=45) received E2 supplementation in the form of transdermal patches (100 ?g/day) twice per week starting the following night after oocyte retrieval. Patients were randomized to the control group (n=46) received no E2 supplementation. Luteal phase support was in the form of 50 mg IM progesterone. There were no significant differ- ences in the implantation (21.5% vs. 30%), clinical pregnancy (19/45 [42.2%] vs. 24/46 [52.1%]; p=0.43), and ongoing pregnancy rates (16/45 [35.5%] vs. 21/46 [45.6%]; p=0.29) between the study and control groups, respectively. Early preg- nancy loss and multiple pregnancy rates were (3/19 [15.7%] vs. 3/24 [12.5%]; p=0.82) (4/19 [21%] vs 5/24 [20.8%]; p=0.39) in study and control groups, respectively. The addition of transdremal E2 sup- plementation to the luteal phase P support of IVF cycles does not improve cycle outcomes in regard to implantation and pregnancy rates in PCOS patients.
