Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of an oxytocin receptor antagonist in females undergoing embryo transfer as part of an assisted reproductive technology. In particular, methods are provided for increasing ongoing implantation rate, increasing ongoing pregnancy rate, increasing clinical pregnancy rate, and/or increasing live birth rate in a female subject undergoing embryo transfer. Specifically, the antagonists are released in the luteal phase when the endometrium is receptive for embryo implantation and/or when the embryo has reached the blastocyst-stage.
