Objectives : It has been suggested that the clinical outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (ET) are superior to those of fresh embryo transfer. We examined whether a freeze-all strategy is necessary for all embryo transfers, and, if not, to evaluate the conditions in which the pregnancy rates of fresh embryo transfer and frozen-thawed ET did not differ. Methods : Patients who underwent blastocyst transfer at Tokushima University Hospital between 2008 and 2019 were enrolled. The clinical outcomes and clinical characteristics of 1,022 patients that underwent fresh embryo transfer and 1,728 patients that underwent frozen-thawed ET were examined retrospectively. We considered the factors that influenced the pregnancy outcomes of fresh embryo transfer. Results : The frozen-thawed ET group exhibited significantly higher pregnancy, live-birth, and miscarriage rates than the fresh embryo transfer group. In the fresh embryo transfer group, a high progesterone level on the day of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger and lower grade embryos were risk factors for a low pregnancy rate. However, in the cases in which the progesterone level was < 1.0 ng / mL the pregnancy rate was equal to that of frozen-thawed ET. Conclusions : A freeze-all strategy is not necessary for embryo transfers, but should be employed in cases involving pre-ovulatory progesterone elevation.
