Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Multiple pregnancies are considered an ART complication. The only effective way to reduce its incidence is to transfer a single embryo. Nonetheless, there is some reluctance among the patients to accept this strategy. In IVF/ICSI programs, it has been demonstrated that, after receiving the information about the similar cumulative live birth rate after single embryo transfer (SET) and double embryo transfer (DET) and the obstetric and perinatal risks of multiple pregnancy, a significant number of patients opt for SET. Up to date, no comparable studies have been published in oocyte recipients. The aim of this study is to evaluate if the information given to the patients influence their preference on the number of embryos to be transferred. It also seeks to identify factors which determine the initial preference and factors which can explain a hypothetic change in this preference.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Counseling policy embryo transfer

All recipients completed a validated self-report questionnaire on the preference on the number of embryos to be transferred and the relevance for the decision-making process attributed to certain factors. The questionnaire also included questions on sociodemographic characteristics, medical-reproductive background and cycle's results and risks perception. All recipients received oral and written counselling. After counselling, during the treatment, the recipients completed a second questionnaire in order to check if their decision had changed.

Group Type OTHER

Oral and written counselling

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Recipients were informed about success rates of SET and DET and also about the possible risks of DET. All the information was given orally and written.
