The clinical ramifications of polycystic ovarian morphology in oocyte donors

Abstract: Objective To determine the relationship between Polycystic Ovary (PCO) morphology and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) outcome in oocyte donation cycles. Design Cross sectional study Setting Private IVF clinic Patients 164 consecutive ovum donors and their recipients were reviewed, 149 were included in the study where 113 patients had normal ovarian morphology and 36 patients had PCO morphology. Interventions All donors underwent ovarian stimulation in conjunction with GnRH agonist or antagonist in standard fashio… Show more

“…Cho et al compared 113 women with apparently normal ovaries to 36 women with isolated polycystic ovarian morphology and found that, similar to cases of PCOS, women with polycystic ovarian morphology produced more oocytes and also exhibited increased sensitivity to gonadotropins; even so, the researchers found equivalent rates of fertility and pregnancy between the groups [ 11 ].…”

“…Another important concern is the impact on pregnancy rates when patients with PCOS donate their oocytes for IVF. The literature includes only a few studies that evaluate pregnancy rates and miscarriage risk among patients who have received oocytes from those with PCOS [ 10 , 11 ].…”

“…Studies have shown that the change of oocyte competence (OC) may be linked to the low fertility of PCOS women, however, OC varies among PCOS phenotypes and associated morbidities (36,37). Other studies find that non-PCOS infertile individuals obtained oocyte donation from PCOS patients, and the rates of fertilization, implantation, and clinical pregnancy did not diminish, suggesting that the oocyte quality of PCOS patients might be normal (38)(39)(40). Compared with the non-PCOS population, PCOS patients who recovered ovulation with treatment had lower clinical pregnancy and live birth rates, suggesting that impaired endometrial receptivity was the one of factors leading to infertility in PCOS patients (41).…”

“…Oocytes from donors with PCOS demonstrated similar fertilization, clinical pregnancy, implantation, and miscarriage rates as oocytes from normal-appearing ovaries [ 5 ]. DO with polycystic ovarian morphology has equivalent pregnancy rates and does not need to be excluded as a potential donors [ 6 ].…”

“…PCOS may increase the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes and the long-term health of the offspring [ 4 ]. However, few studies have assessed pregnancy outcomes in patients with PCOS receiving oocytes [ 5 , 6 ]. Vaz GQ et al showed that PCOS in donors does not seem to affect pregnancy and implantation rates [ 7 ].…”
