Effect of Prior Caesarean Delivery on ICSI Outcome
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Frozen embryo transfer for Female Infertility. Completed, enrolled 140 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Although Caesarean section (CS) is often a necessary surgical intervention, it may also be associated with an increased risk of short- and long-term sequelae. It was thought that CS may increase the risk of female subfertility or even infertility. In assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles, the process of implantation is believed to be the most important factor in determining pregnancy outcome. In view of conflicting results on the influence of a previous CS on outcomes of ART, this study will be conducted to investigate the impact of the mode of previous delivery on ICSI outcomes.

Timeline
Interventions
All women in both groups will receive oral estradiol valerate 8 mg/ day from the second day of the menstrual cycle. Endometrial thickness will be assessed by vaginal ultrasonography at the tenth day of treatment. When endometrial thickness reached ≥ 7 mm all subjects, in addition to estrogen, they will receive progesterone vaginal suppositories 400 mg twice daily and 100 mg of progesterone intramuscularly daily. Frozen thawed embryo transfer will be at day 6 of progesterone. Estrogen and progesterone will be continued until 9-10 weeks of gestation
