Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Can anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) help predict how many oocytes will be retrieved following double stimulation (DuoStim)? SUMMARY ANSWER A simple clinical tool can use serum AMH values to predict ovarian response following DuoStim in IVF cycles. WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN The knowledge that multiple follicular waves arise during a single ovarian cycle has led to the introduction of unconventional ovarian stimulation protocols. The DuoStim protocol involves two successive ovarian stimulations performed during a single ovarian cycle and has been proposed as an approach for patients with poor ovarian response and for medical fertility preservation. As AMH has been used as a marker of ovarian reserve and stimulation response, the current study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of AMH in predicting the number of retrieved oocytes following DuoStim. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This is a retrospective observational study involving 116 patients who received IVF treatment from January 2021 to September 2022. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS The study was conducted at a private IVF centre. Only patients who had their AMH measured prior to treatment and had complete patient records regarding their clinical and IVF/ICSI cycle characteristics were included. The primary outcome was the correlation between AMH values and the number of oocytes retrieved following DuoStim. Parametric and non-parametric tests were used to compare baseline characteristics and outcomes. Spearman's R was used to analyse correlations between variables, while the C statistic was used to calculate the diagnostic performance of AMH. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE AMH levels were significantly correlated with the total number of oocytes retrieved after the DuoStim (R 0.61; CI 0.44-0.70; P < 0.0001). The difference in the total number of oocytes retrieved between the first (median 4 oocytes, interquartile range (IQR) 2-6) and second (median 6 oocytes, IQR 3.2-8) stimulation was statistically significant (P < 0.0001). However, there was no significant difference in the number of mature oocytes that were retrieved (median of 3 and 4 in the first and second stimulations, respectively). After the first stimulation, 68% of patients had at least one blastocyst available, while after the second stimulation, 74% did (NS). Based on linear regression, each 0.25 ng/ml increase in basal AMH corresponds to one additional oocyte recovered at the end of both stimulations (R2: 0.32, P < 0.0001). LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The results are limited owing to the observational nature of the study and the number of participants. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Counselling infertile couples regarding the intermediate outcome of IVF (i.e. number of retrieved oocytes) is one of the most demanding tasks that clinicians face. To our knowledge, this is the first study that provides an easy-to-use clinical tool that enables the quantitative prediction of ovarian response following DuoStim, based on serum AMH values. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S) No external funding was obtained for this study. The authors declare no conflicts of interest. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER N/A.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Could advanced paternal age influences the embryos aneuploidy rate in eggs donation cycles with poor sperm quality?
Summary answer
In case of severe male factors increased paternal age can affect embryos aneuploidy rate in egg donation cycles.
What is known already
While the impact of advanced maternal age on reproductive is well understood, the effect of paternal age on reproductive function is controversial. Many studies have shown that Advanced Paternal Age (APA) could impact on male fertility potential affecting testicular function and sperm quality. Moreover, APA also has been associated with increased epigenetics changes and DNA mutations. Increased paternal age could be associated with different types of disorders such as autism, schizopherenia and bipolar disorders. Egg donation cycles, controlling female variables, represent the ideal model for the study of the impact of paternal age on reproductive outcomes.
Study design, size, duration
We retrospectively analyzed 43 egg donation cycles (October 2014-January 2020) with ≥ 50% survival rate of vitrified/warmed oocyte. Only cycles with poor sperm quality were considered. Cycles were divided in two GROUPS: group–1 included male paternal age ≤ 45 while group–2 included male paternal age >45. Data, shown as avarage±SD, were analyzed with Chi square or Student-t test.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Group–1 included 20 cycles and 219 oocytes, male age was 40,89 ±6.12; Group–2 included 17 cycles and 173 oocytes, male age was 51±6.06. Respectively, in Group 1 and in Group 2, donor age were 22.4±2.65 and 24.8±3.88 (NS). All oocytes were injected with abnormal sperm samples according to WHO 2010. Embryos were cultured in time-lapse system until blastocyst stage. Trophectoderm biopsy and PGT-A analysis were performed according to standardized laboratory protocols.
Main results and the role of chance
Oocytes survival rates in Group1 and 2 were 86% (188/219) and 90.7% (157/173) (NS), respectively. Fertilization rates in Group1 and –2 were 71.42 (135/189) and 73.45% (119/162) (NS), respectively. The total number of obtained embryos (transferred + frozen) were 81 and 801 in Group–1 and –2, respectively. The rates of obtained embryos per reiceved occytes were 37% (81/219) and 46.24% (80/173) in Group–1 and –2 (p < 0.7), respectively. The PGT-A analysis showed 38.7% (31/80) and 31.17% (24/77) of euploid (NS) and 25% (20/80)and 42.85% (33/77) of aneuploid embryos (P < 0.05) in Group–1 and –2, respectively. Mosaic embryos were 33.5% (26/80) and 27.27%(21/77), in Group–1 and –2, respectively. (NS). These results indicate that in presence of severe male factor, advanced paternal age could increase embryos aneuploidy rate raising incidence of chromosomal abnormalities.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Each donor was stimulated with different protocols according to her history and hormones levels. Nothing is known about which type of sperm parameters (semen amount, morphology or motility) have a major impact when focusing on the embryos genetic outcome.
Wider implications of the findings: To better known the effect of APA, it could be necessary identify embryos chromosomal abnormalities and the correlation with specific sperm parameters. Further studies should be done to confirm the APA effect in patients with severe male factors and define a cut-off male age where PGT-A should be recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical efficacy of a "Universal Warming" protocol, based on subsequent steps with 1 M and 0.5 M concentration of extracellular cryoprotectant (ECCP), on shipped oocytes. Oocytes are vitrified using different brands of ready-to-use kits which recommend that the use of their own warming kit and combining different vitrification/warming kits may have legal consequences for assisted reproductive (AR) centers, until this practice has been validated with clinical studies. METHODS Retrospective multi-center transnational observational study. Number of oocytes warmed 1.898. Vitrification performed with vitrification kit (Kitazato, Japan); warming carried out randomly with two different kits: Kitazato warming kit and Vit Kit®-Thaw (FujiFilm Irvine, USA). Warmed oocytes were assigned to 2 groups: KK (Kitazato/Kitazato) 939, and KI (Kitazato/Irvine) 959. Primary endpoint: survival rate. Secondary endpoints: fertilization rate; blastulation rate; implantation rate; live birth rate. RESULTS Survival was comparable between the groups: 84.6% (795/939) in group KK vs 82.1% (787/959) in group KI. Fertilization rate was lower (P = 0.027) in group KK (75.7%-602/795) than in group KI (80.4%-633/787). Blastulation and implantation and live birth rates were all statistically comparable between the study groups: blastulation rate was 58.5% (352/602) vs 57.8% (366/633); implantation rate was 41.5% (80/193) vs 45.9% (84/183); live birth rate was 52.5% (62/118) in KK and 45.0% (54/120) in KI. CONCLUSION The use of this "Universal Warming" protocol simplifies vitrified oocyte exchange between AR centers in different countries, and overcomes potential regulatory/commercial/availability differences affecting clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of different recombinant LH (rLH) doses on the ovarian outcome of normogonadotrophic women with an initial inadequate response to recombinant FSH (rFSH) after pituitary downregulation. METHODS Only women undergoing a 'long protocol' with a GnRH-agonist followed by rFSH administration were enrolled. On the eighth day of stimulation, 46 patients with serum E2 levels < 180 pg/ml and with no follicle > 10 mm were randomized in two groups to receive a supplementation with a daily rLH dose of 75 (group A) or 150 IU (group B), respectively. Forty-six normal responders continuing their monotherapy with rFSH formed the control group (C). RESULTS The mean number of oocytes retrieved and the percentage of mature oocytes in the group B (9.65 +/- 2.16, 79.0%) were comparable with those observed in the group C (10.65 +/- 2.8, 82.5%) and significantly higher when compared with the group A (6.39 +/- 1.53, 65.7%). The mean number of ampoules of rLH was significantly higher in the group B (14.4 +/- 2.0 vs. 9.65 +/- 1.1), whereas these patients received a significantly lower mean number of rFSH ampoules (44.6 +/- 7.4 vs. 36.1 +/- 3.8). Seven (30.4%), 9 (39.1%) and 22 (47.8%) pregnancies were achieved in the groups A, B and C, respectively. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that patients with initial inadequate responses to rFSH after pituitary downregulation benefit from the addition of a daily dose of 150 IU of rLH, starting from the eighth day of stimulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of adding human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) during controlled ovarian stimulation in normoovulatory normogonadotrophic patients showing an initial suboptimal response to a standardized long protocol therapy with recombinant FSH (rFSH) (300 IU/day). METHODS A total of 43 such patients were randomized in two groups. In Group A, 150 IU rFSH was substituted by 150 IU HMG after day 8 of stimulation. The stimulation protocol of Group B involved a simple increase of the daily rFSH dose to 375 IU after day 8. A total of 40 BMI and age matched patients with an optimal ovarian response formed the control group (Group C). RESULTS The mean Group A serum concentration of oestradiol on the day of HCG administration and average number of oocytes retrieved were significantly higher than Group B (P < 0.001) and equivalent to Group C. A total of 10 pregnancies (50%) in Group A, 8 (34.8%) in Group B and 19 (47.5%) in the control group were achieved. CONCLUSIONS The data suggest that LH supplementation improves the ovarian outcome in patients characterized by an inadequate initial response to rFSH therapy in a long protocol.

Abstract
Ovarian stimulation in cases of poor ovarian responsiveness is an important challenge in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) programmes. Despite improvements in oocyte number and quality, an ideal ovarian stimulation strategy has yet to be defined. Here, the results of ovarian stimulation with recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) in 28 poor responders to highly purified FSH (FSH-HP) with high basal concentrations of FSH are reported. The protocols used on the FSH-HP and rFSH cycles were identical with the sole exception of the FSH preparation: triptorelin 0.1 mg/day (gonadotrophin-releasing hormone, GnRH-agonist short protocol) and the starting FSH dose of 300 IU/day were administered from day 2 of the menstrual cycle. Ovarian outcome was classified as 'normal', 'intermediate' and 'poor', depending on the number of mature oocytes retrieved and the peak serum oestradiol concentration. Nine of the 28 subjects had an intermediate ovarian response to re-stimulation with rFSH. In the 26 patients who received human chorionic gonadotrophin on both cycles, re-stimulation resulted in a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the mean number of mature oocytes (2.4 +/- 1.4 versus 1.7 +/- 0.8), mean peak oestradiol concentration (606 +/- 252 versus 443 +/- 32 pg/ml) and fertilization rate (73.0 versus 53.3%). Four pregnancies were achieved. It is concluded that rFSH in a GnRH-agonist short protocol improves the ovarian outcome in poor responders to FSH-HP with high basal concentrations of FSH.
