title: Gestational carrier pregnancy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the results of a gestational carrier program in terms of pregnancy rates in fresh and cryopreserved cycles.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective analysis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Private IVF program.
  
  
  METHODS
  Women with uterine or medical reasons for unsuccessful gestation.
  
  
  METHODS
  In vitro fertilization of oocytes with fresh or cryopreserved ET to gestational carriers.
  
  
  METHODS
  Pregnancy rates and deliveries.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A PR of 56.3% and a cycle rate of 30.8% was achieved in each patient <40 years of age in 117 cycles of fresh or cryopreserved ET. There were no pregnancies for nine patients >40 years of age in 27 cycles.
