Cancellation rates differed numerically.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The optimal timing of mNC-FET following ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval is heavily debated. Concerns about suboptimal ovarian and hormonal conditions in the NC immediately following ovarian stimulation have led to the widespread practice of postponing FET for at least 1\u00a0month. However, emerging evidence suggests that reproductive outcomes in immediate programmed FET cycles are comparable, or even superior, to those achieved in postponed cycles. Studies of the NC immediately following ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval are lacking, leaving a limited understanding of its functionality, cycle characteristics, hormonal profiles, and ovarian morphology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This descriptive study is based on data from a recently completed Danish multicentre randomised controlled non-inferiority trial (RCT) evaluating the optimal timing of FET following ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval. Women were randomised 1:1 to mNC-FET in the cycle immediately following ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval, or after a 1-month delay. Data from 468 women, collected from March 2021 to May 2025, were included in this study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Women with a regular menstrual cycle, aged 18\u201340\u2009years, and undergoing autologous single blastocyst mNC-FET were eligible for inclusion. The presence of cystic intraovarian structures &amp;gt; 10\u2009mm and plasma levels of FSH, LH, estradiol, and progesterone from cycle initiation to blastocyst transfer were assessed, as were the length of the follicular phase and cancellation rates between groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The number of cystic ovarian structures was significantly higher in the immediate group than in the postponed group on Days 2\u20135 of the treatment cycle (median, 3 [IQR, 1\u20136] vs 0 [IQR, 0\u20131]; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) as well as on the day of ovulation trigger (median, 1 [IQR, 0\u20132] vs 0 [IQR, 0\u20131]; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). In the early follicular phase, plasma progesterone levels were higher (median, 1.2 [IQR, 0.7\u20131.7] vs 0.8 [IQR, 0.6\u20131.5] nmol\/L; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) in the immediate compared to postponed cycles, and plasma LH levels were lower (median, 4.1 [IQR, 2.7\u20136.1] vs 5.9 [IQR, 4.7\u20137.5] IU\/L; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), as were FSH levels (median, 6.6 [IQR, 5.0\u20138.2] vs 6.9 [IQR, 5.9\u20137.9] IU\/L; P\u2009=\u20090.047). The time to ovulation trigger was longer in the immediate than in the postponed group (mean, 15.0 [SD, 3.9] vs 13.0 [SD, 3.0] days; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001): an effect driven by freeze-all cycles. As a natural consequence of the increased time to ovulation trigger, more follicular scans were performed in the immediate group (median, 3 [IQR, 2\u20133] vs 2 [IQR, 1\u20133]; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Cycle cancellation was more frequent in immediate cycles, however, the difference was not statistically significant (10.3% vs 6.2%; P\u2009=\u20090.078).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The main endpoints of this study were specified in the study protocol of the RCT, but some post hoc analyses were performed to explore unexpected findings.
