Pregnancy following Oocyte Donation and in vitro Fertilization after Failed Attempts at Donor Uterine Lavage

Pregnancy and child outcome after oocyte donation.

During the last decade oocyte donation has been highly successful for treating women previously thought to be hopelessly infertile. The pregnancy rate after oocyte donation is among the highest reported for any fertility-enhancing procedure. Most investigators have noted an increased rate of obstetric complications in these pregnancies. In particular, pregnancy-induced hypertension appears to o...

Donor type and parental disclosure following oocyte donation

Historically, gamete donation has been characterized by donor anonymity and concealment from the child of the nature of her or his conception. A number of studies undertaken in various countries have explored parents’ views regarding disclosure to their donor-conceived children of the means of their conception. To date, most of the study populations relating to oocyte donation have been recipie...

Uterine contractions at the time of embryo transfer alter pregnancy rates after in-vitro fertilization.

To investigate the possible consequences of uterine contractions (UC) as visualized by ultrasound (US) on in-vitro fertilization (IVF)-embryo transfer outcome, we studied prospectively 209 infertile women undergoing 220 cycles of controlled ovarian stimulation. Inclusion criteria were age < or = 38 years, a morphologically normal uterus, and at least three good quality embryos transferred. Just...

Interstitial Pregnancy after In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer Following Bilateral Salpingectomy:Report of Two Cases and Literature Review

The effect of varicocele ligation on oocyte fertilization and pregnancy after failure of fertilization in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer.

Although varicocelectomy is generally believed to improve semen quality and the hamster egg penetration assay, these parameters do not correlate well with in vitro fertilization (IVF) success. The effect of varicocelectomy on IVF of human oocytes was examined on thirteen couples with normal female fertility, but severe oligozoospermia and the presence varicocele in the males with failure of fer...
