          Abstract

          To determine the effects of low-dose aspirin on ovarian response, uterine and ovarian blood flow velocity, and implantation and pregnancy rates in patients undergoing IVF. Prospective, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled assay. Department of Reproductive Medicine, CER Medical Institute, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Two hundred ninety-eight infertile patients (mean [+/- SDI age, 35.6+/-4.09 years) undergoing IVF cycles. In the treatment group, 149 patients underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and received a daily dose of 100 mg of aspirin. In the control group, 149 patients underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in association with placebo. Number of follicles, number of oocytes retrieved, serum E2 levels, uterine and ovarian pulsatility index, cancellation rate, number of embryos transferred, and implantation and pregnancy rates. There were statistically significant differences between the treatment group and the control group, respectively, in the number of follicles (19.8+/-7.2 versus 10.2+/-5.3), number of oocytes retrieved (16.2+/-6.7 versus 8.6+/-4.6), serum E2 levels (2,923.8+/-1,023.4 versus 1,614.3+/-791.7 pg/mL), uterine pulsatility index (1.22+/-0.34 versus 1.96+/-0.58), ovarian pulsatility index (1.18+/-0.31 versus 1.99+/-0.56), pregnancy rate (45% versus 28%), and implantation rate (17.8% versus 9.2%). Low-dose aspirin treatment significantly improves ovarian responsiveness, uterine and ovarian blood flow velocity, and implantation and pregnancy rates in IVF patients.
