HYSTEROSCOPY BEFORE IN VITRO FERTILIZATION

Hysteroscopy before the first in vitro fertilization: a 7-year experience from a single center

Objective. This study aims to evaluate the importance of performing hysteroscopy prior to the first attempt of in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) by specifying the incidence of intrauterine pathologies and the success of IVF/ICSI cycle. Methods. This is a retrospective review of 357 women who underwent their first cycle of IVF/ICSI treatment during a 7year p...

Observer agreement in the evaluation of the uterine cavity by hysteroscopy prior to in vitro fertilization.

BACKGROUND Hysteroscopy is known as the most accurate test for diagnosing intrauterine pathology. To optimize fertility treatment, it is increasingly common to perform hysteroscopy as a routine procedure prior to IVF. However, literature on the reproducibility of screening hysteroscopy is lacking. Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the intra- and inter-observer agreement in the indiv...

Endometrioma: Should This Be Managed before in Vitro Fertilization?

Serum oestradiol and preovulatory follicular development before in-vitro fertilization.

Twenty-three in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment cycles (four unstimulated and 19 clomiphene-stimulated) were assessed retrospectively to discern relationships among serum oestradiol (OE2) titre on the day that human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) was given and the number and size of ovulatory follicles available for aspiration of oocytes during laparoscopy 32-38 h after hCG injection. Since ...

STANDARD IVF In Vitro Fertilization, Fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which an egg is fertilised by sperm outside the body: in vitro . The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman's ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a liquid in a laboratory. The fertilised egg (zygote) is cultured for 2–6 days in a growth medium and is then i...
