“The #Australian study, published Wednesday in #HumanReproduction, looked at outcomes from frozen #embryo transfers over an eight-year period and discovered that the time of year when eggs are collected from a person’s #ovaries during #FertilityTreatment may be impacted by the #season and duration of #sunshine.
“What we found is that the time (of the year) you put the embryo back didn’t actually seem to have any impact on the live birth rate,”
Dr. Sebastian Leathersich, an obstetrician and gynecologist based in Perth, Australia, and lead author of the study told Global News.
Instead, the researchers found that if the egg had been collected in #summer as opposed to the fall, the odds of having a successful embryo transfer and live birth were 30 per cent higher regardless of when the embryo was #implanted in the #womb.”
@auscandoc N? There were 3659 frozen embryo transfers with embryos generated from 2155 IVF cycles in 1835 patients.
@ellie Yes.. that’s what I read in the paper.
