The PGT-A group from the original RCT was selected for secondary analysis. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to the total dosage of exogenous gonadotropins and treatment duration: group 1 (\u22641500 IU and &amp;lt;10 days), group 2 (\u22641500 IU and \u226510 days), group 3 (&amp;gt;1500 IU and &amp;lt;10 days), and group 4 (&amp;gt;1 500 IU and \u226510 days). Group 1 served as the control group.

The embryo mosaicism rate was significantly higher in groups 2 (44 of 339 embryos [13.0%]; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.69 [95% CI, 1.09-2.64]), 3 (27 of 186 embryos [14.5%]; aOR, 1.98 [95% CI, 1.15-3.40]), and 4 (82 of 651 embryos [12.6%]; aOR, 1.60 [95% CI, 1.07-2.38]) than in group 1 (56 of 633 embryos [8.8%]). There were no associations between gonadotropin dosage or duration and the embryo aneuploidy rate. The cumulative live birth rate was significantly lower in groups 2 (83 of 113 couples [73.5%]; aOR, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.27-0.88]), 3 (42 of 62 couples [67.7%]; aOR, 0.41 [95% CI, 0.21-0.82]), and 4 (161 of 217 couples [74.2%]; aOR, 0.53 [95% CI, 0.31-0.89]) than in group 1 (180 of 211 couples [85.3%]).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>In this study, excessive exogenous gonadotropin administration was associated with increased embryonic mosaicism and decreased cumulative live birth rate after euploid embryo transfer in couples with a good prognosis. These findings suggest that consideration should be given to minimizing exogenous gonadotropin dosage and limiting treatment duration to improve embryo outcomes and increase the live birth
