description Objective This study aimed to compare the effects of two brands of commercial vitrification carriers on pregnancy outcomes in freeze–thaw cycles. Methods We included 4871 patients who underwent a “freeze all” strategy using the commercial carriers J.Y. straw and OYASHIPS straw in the Reproductive Center of the First Hospital of Jilin University. The pregnancy outcomes of cleavage-stage embryos and blastocysts were studied separately. Detailed data and the safety of children born from mothers with the two types of carriers were also compared. Results Patients who used J.Y. straw had similar clinical pregnancy and live birth rates with one and two cleavage-stage embryo transplantation to those who used OYASHIPS straw. In patients who had blastocyst transplantation, the clinical pregnancy rate of one blastocyst transplanted in those who used OYASHIPS straw was significantly higher than that in those who used J.Y. straw (57.85% vs 47.09%). Among children born from mothers who used J.Y. straw, the congenital disability rate was significantly higher than that in those with OYASHIPS straw. Conclusion The OYASHIPS straw carrier is cheap and can achieve clinical pregnancy and live birth outcomes comparable to those of J.Y. straw. Therefore, OYASHIPS straw is a good alternative option.
