Abstract
This retrospective analytic study was conducted at DAR EL BARAA medical center, Kuwait . two hundred (200) women’s files were reviewed retrospectively through the period started at January 2009 till December 2011 .this study compared the details of ICSI procedure done for the selected women as regards the type of the transferred embryo , fresh or frozen-thawed as the cornerstone of the study included files divided into two groups first group (GI) included one hundred (100) women who received fresh embryo transfer and the second group (GII) included one hundred (100) patients who received frozen-thawed embryo transfer both groups .both groups were compared as regards the chemical pregnancy rate
and implantation rate. It was found that no significant difference between fresh embryo transfer group (GI) and frozen embryo transfer group (GII) in chemical pregnancy rate (57.1% , 42.9% respectively ). (p- value ). Clinical pregnancy rate was higher in GI than GII ,(47% ,35% ,respectively). however the different not significant. There was no significant difference in The implantation rate in group I (GI) was 24.8 while in group II was 20%.(p value 0.2) Generally the new high technology of embryo freezing (vitrification)
has great impact on improvement of the outcome of frozen –thawed embryo
transfer so that it become almost equal to fresh embryo transfer. In this study the multiple pregnancy rate was higher in group II (GII) than group I (GI). twins were(10.6%,42.9%) in group I and group II respectively different was statistically significant however, triplets were(10.6%,0%)in group I and group II respectively, so the frozen –thawed embryo transfer don’t affect the risk of multiple pregnancy as the risk is almost equal or even higher than fresh embryo transfer .and the risk more
than twins is almost absent in this study.
