RESUMO
690 infertile patients have been treated with IVF since 1984 in Klagenfurt. All patients who asked for IVF/ET treatment are included in this study without any selection. The data therefore show the effective chance to become pregnant. The majority of the patients was infertile due to tubal-factor, underwent two treatment cycles only and was stimulated with a simple clomid-scheme. Oocyte retrieval has been performed via laparoscope only in the beginning; for three years already it is done transvaginally under ultrasound control. Depending on the number of transferred embryos the pregnancy rate varies and reaches 35% in triple-transfers. Until now 140 clinical pregnancies could be achieved and 72 women gave birth to 78 healthy children. Therefore our patients can count on an average pregnancy rate of 20.3% and an 10.4 baby-take-home rate.
