Brief summary

This study is a single-center, randomized, controlled prospective study. Those who will recieve hormone replacement therapy-frozen thawed embryo transfer (HRT-FET) are enrolled in the study. To determine the effect of oestrogen dosage reducion on maternal and fetal complications in HRT-FET cycles while maintaining the similar clinical pregnancy outcome in HRT-FET cycles with regular oestrogen dosage.

Detailed description

According to the enrollment and exclusion criteria, the patients were enrolled, and the subjects were randomly divided into two groups by computer randomization. Group A was the reduced oestrogen dosage group (test group). Group B was the regular hormone replacement group (control group).

Interventions

OTHERLow oestrogen dosage

From the second day of the menstrual cycle, femoston (estradiol tablets) were orally taken 2 mg q.d.. The endometrial thickness and serum oestrogen and progesterone levels were monitored on the 12th to 14th days of the menstrual cycle.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical pregnancy rate45 days after embryo transferClinical pregnancy is defined as the presence of gestational sac observed by ultrasound. The proportion of clinical pregnancy cycles to total FET cycles is the clinical pregnancy rate.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Early pregnancy loss rate12 weeks after embryo transferThe early pregnancy loss rate refers to the proportion of patients with pregnancy loss before 12 weeks of gestation in the total clinical pregnancy patients.
Incidence of thrombosis12 weeks after embryo transferThrombosis incidence refers to the proportion of patients with deep venous thrombosis in the total patients.
Embryo implantation rate45 days after embryo transferThe proportion of the number of implanted embryos to the total number of transferred embryos is the embryo implantation rate.
Premature birth rate41 weeks after embryo transferPreterm birth rate refers to the proportion of patients with preterm birth in all pregnancies.
Proportion of low birth weight infants41 weeks after embryo transferThe proportion of low birth weight infants refers to the proportion of low birth weight infants in all newborns.
Incidence rate of gestational hypertension45 weeks after embryo transferThe incidence rate of gestational hypertension refers to the proportion of patients with gestational hypertension in the total pregnant patients.
