ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: IVF treatment in women with grafted frozen-thawed ovarian tissue is associated with poor reproductive outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ovarian tissue transplantation (OTT) followed by assisted reproductive technology (ART) in women with or without associated infertility factors. METHODS: This is a prospective cohort study with retrospective data collection including eleven women, four of whom having an infertility factor (IF), who had undergone OTT in one university center between 2005 and 2017, followed by ART in six in vitro fertilization (IVF) centers. RESULTS: In total, 25 of the 85 cycles initiated (29%) were canceled, resulting in 60 oocyte retrievals. Ninety-five oocytes were retrieved: 36 were abnormal or immature, 29/39 fertilized (74%) after ICSI and 13/20 (65%) after IVF. Thirty-five embryos were transferred in seven patients (5/7 patients without IF and 2/4 patients with IF). After ART, one patient with IF experienced two pregnancies, one resulting in a live birth. For all patients, pregnancy rates and live birth rates were 7.4% and 3.7% per embryo transfer, respectively. Nine pregnancies and four live births occurred after spontaneous conception in five patients without IF, none in the infertility group. CONCLUSION: This study confirms that IVF treatment in women with grafted frozen-thawed ovarian tissue is associated with poor outcomes. However, the chances of natural conception are high in women without IF. Patients with IF, without the possibility of spontaneous pregnancy, should be informed of poor reproductive outcomes after OTT followed by ART. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02184806.

ABSTRACT

In vitro folliculogenesis could be a new technology to produce mature oocytes from immature follicles that have been isolated from cryopreserved or fresh ovarian tissue. This technique could also be a tool for evaluation of oocyte quality and/or for determination of follicular parameters during follicular growth. Our objective was to characterize in mice the secretion profiles of follicles that had been isolated mechanically during in vitro follicular growth and in relation to the growth curve. Early preantral follicles from fresh prepubertal and adult mouse ovaries or frozen-thawed prepubertal mouse ovaries were cultured individually in microdrops under oil for 12 days. Each day, two perpendicular diameters of the follicles were measured. From day-3 to day-12 of culture, culture medium was collected and preserved for determination of inhibin B, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and estradiol levels. At the end of the culture, after maturation, the status of the oocyte was evaluated. Follicular growth and their individual hormone production did not always correlate. Inhibin B was never secreted from follicles of less than 200 µm diameter, whether the follicles were examined when fresh or after freezing-thawing. Estradiol secretion was never observed in frozen-thawed follicles. AMH was mainly secreted between day-3 and day-9. Despite similar morphological aspects at the start of culture, follicles selected for in vitro folliculogenesis were found to be heterogeneous and differed in their ability to grow and to produce hormones, even if they had similar growth curves. Follicles from frozen-thawed ovaries developed slowly and produced fewer hormones than freshly collected follicles.
