IVI began to analyse the effects of the different ovarian stimulation protocols to compare the time required to achieve healthy embryos.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\u201cUpon comparing the results of these two groups, we were able to verify that there were no differences in the days on which the two stimulations were performed, nor in the number of oocytes or embryos obtained. <\/em><\/span>The main difference was in the amount of time taken to find a healthy embryo. <\/span><\/em>In the case of the patients stimulated with DuoStim, the time to achieve an euploid embryo was 23.3 days, versus 44.1 days in the group of patients who had two conventional non-consecutive stimulations<\/em>, ” indicates Dr Mar\u00eda Cerrillo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\u201cMedical literature has already provided studies and data which analyses the results of two consecutive ovarian stimulations for specific patient groups. <\/em><\/span>However, IVI is the first to conduct a comparison of two stimulations carried out during one menstrual cycle with two stimulations carried out during two different menstrual cycles. <\/span>Furthermore, the purpose of DuoStim was born from the observation that <\/span><\/em><\/span>the oocytes obtained outside the follicular phase are just as usable and viable<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em>. <\/span><\/em>The conclusion was that patients stimulated with the DuoStim protocol were able to reduce the time necessary to obtain a healthy embryo for transfer by half, therefore making a reduction in the time to achieve pregnancy more likely,<\/em> \u201d added Dr. Cerrillo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
