Methods The pregnancy outcomes of patients with advanced EMS （542 cycles）, who were prepared for FET, were retrospectively assessed. Included patients underwent a total of 233 FET cycles （180 patients） using natural cycle （NC）, a total of 142 FET cycles （115 patients） using letrozole （LE） ovulation induction, and a total of 167 FET cycles （137 patients） using hormonal replacement treatment （HRT） for endometrial preparation.Results There were no significant diffenences in the clinical pregnancy rate （LE： 49.30%, NC： 50.21%, and HRT： 43.11~/o, P=0.343）, the implantation rate （LE： 29.26%, NC： 36.03%, and HRT： 29.55%, P=0.084）, and the live birth rate （LE： 38.02%, NC： 39.11%, and HR T.＂ 35.33 %, P=O. 648） among the three groups. No statistically signifi- cant differences were observed in the ongoing pregnancy rate, the miscarriage rate, and the pregnancy complication rate. The single birth weight in patients using NC- FET was lower than that in patients using HRT-FET （P=0.044） and a higher twin birth weight in patients using LE-FET were observed compared with other groups （P=O. 022）. The rate of birth weight 〈2 500 g was also higher in the NC-FET group than in other groups. No congenital birth defects were found in the three groups. Conclusion Different endometrial preparation protocols without ultra-long GnRH-a down-regulation for FET yield similar pregnancy outcomes in patients with EMS. A tailored endometrial preparation protocol should be recommended according to different patients＇ situation.展开更多
