The impact of past COVID-19 infection on pregnancy rates in frozen embryo transfer cycles.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To study the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on pregnancy rates in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study including women under the age of 42 with documented SARS-CoV-2 infection up to 1 year prior to treatment, undergoing FET cycles in the first half of 2021, with transfer of embryos generated prior to the infection. Controls were SARS-CoV-2 non-diagnosed, non-vaccinated women matched by age, number, and day of embryo transfer. Demographic and cycle characteristics and outcomes were compared.

Results

Forty-one recovered women and 41 controls were included. Pregnancy rates were 29% and 49% respectively (p = 0.070). Stratification by time from SARS-CoV-2 infection to transfer into ≤ 60 and > 60 days revealed a difference in pre
