Abstrakt: In a 7-month study period, a total of 113 pregnancies were generated in 380 women (30%) undergoing transfers in one of four assisted conception procedures: gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), pronuclear stage tubal transfer (PROST), tubal embryo stage transfer (TEST), and in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). It was shown that both the pregnancy rate per transfer procedure and the number of pregnancy sacs arising per embryo transferred were significantly higher among the groups having tubal transfer (P<0.001). There were no significant differences in the pregnancy or implantation rates among the three groups having tubal transfer procedures when the GIFT results were adjusted for a 72% fertilization rate noted in the combined IVF-ET and PROST groups. Early pregnancy wastage showed a similar pattern among the four groups and, overall, 67% of pregnancies advanced beyond 20 weeks.
