Objective To compare the effects of dydrogesterone and medroxyprogesterone acetate on clinical outcomes of assisted reproductive technology in patients with normal ovarian function undergoing the progestin⁃primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) regimen. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 335 patients who received assisted reproductive technology for treatment with the PPOS regimen. Patients were assigned to medroxyprogesterone acetate group (n=269) or dydrogesterone group (n=66) according to the type of progestogen preparations administered. According to the propensity score matching (PSM) with a 3∶1 matching ratio, general data, ovulation stimulation cycle⁃related parameters, and frozen embryo transfer cycle⁃related indicators were compared between the two groups. Results After PSM, there was no statistically significant difference in general status between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the medroxyprogesterone acetate group, the dydrogesterone group exhibited more numbers of retrieved oocytes, metaphase Ⅱ(MⅡ) oocytes, fertilized oocytes, two pronuclei, transferable embryos, and a higher transferable embryo rate, while the high⁃quality embryo rate was lower (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the number of high⁃quality embryos, MⅡ oocyte rate, normal fertilization rate, or cleavage rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The proportion of patients undergoing natural or mild stimulation cycles was higher in the dydrogesterone group than in the medroxyprogesterone acetate group (P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in endometrial thickness on the transfer day, number of transferred embryos, stage of transferred embryos, implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, singleton pregnancy rate, multiple pregnancy rate, early abortion rate, or live birth rate between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Both medroxyprogesterone acetate and dydrogesterone are effective options for the PPOS regimen in patients with normal ovarian function.
