Abstract

Objective: To compare the outcome of assisted reproduction in day 2 versus day three embryo transfer.

Design: Prospective study.

Participants: A total of 927 consecutive embryo transfers for IVF and ICSI cycles including 626 embryo transfers on day 2 and 301 on day 3.

Intervention: IVF and ICSI.

Outcome measure: Clinical pregnancy rate.

Results: There is no significant difference in the pregnancy rate between ET on day 2 (50.9%) and ET on day 3 (50.5%).

Conclusion: Embryo transfer could be done on days 2 or 3 according to the convenience of the patient and the medical team.

Condensation: Embryo transfer could be done on days 2 or 3 according to the convenience of the medical team with similar results.
