Abstract

The infertility rate in Indonesia is relatively high, therefore many people need further assistance in achieving pregnancy. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a reproductive technology that has been one of the top choices. There are two methods of embryo transfer in the process, namely fresh embryo transfer and frozen embryo transfer. Based on conducted studies, the clinical pregnancy rate varies between studies. This study aimed to compare the clinical pregnancy success rates between fresh embryo transfers and frozen embryo transfers at RSIA Bunda Jakarta between January 2020-July 2020. The comparative analytic method is used with a cross-sectional study approach. The sample used is the medical records of all patients who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) with fresh embryo transfer or frozen embryo transfer methods at RSIA Bunda Jakarta from January 2020 to July 2020. The variable studied was the clinical pregnancy success rate in both transfer methods. Statistical test was done with SPSS by chi-square method to see the significance of the difference. The result of this study shows that the difference in clinical pregnancy success rate between the two embryo transfer methods was 6.91% with ???? = 0.176, therefore it is considered not significant. Insignificant results can be influenced by many factors, such as the large difference in sample size between the two methods of embryo transfer and the wide range of individual factors. Thus it is concluded that the difference in clinical pregnancy success rates between the two methods of embryo transfer is not significant enough to determine that frozen embryo transfer is a superior method of embryo transfer.
