There are numerous studies concerning pregnancy rates in oocyte donation, yet only a handful report the obstetric outcome in such pregnancies. The purpose of this study was to assess factors that influence pregnancy rates, to determine the incidence of complications, and to evaluate obstetric outcome in pregnancies resulting from oocyte donation. This study included 423 oocyte recipients who un...

Over the years, IVF/ICSI protocols have continued to evolve with efforts to improve outcomes. As a result, treatment success may be related to certain procedural factors, including number of embryos transferred and stage at which they are transferred. This review aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of IVF/ICSI in comparison to spontaneous conception and less invasive ARTs and the impact...

Background One of the important complications of assisted reproductive technologies is multiple pregnancy, the aim of the present study was to indentify the risk factors of multiple pregnancy independent of number of transfred embryos. MaterialsAndMethods This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of patients underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle in Royan Institute ...

Background: One of the main problems in ART is low pregnancy rates. The factors involved in successful pregnancy include; 1. mother related factors such as the status of endometrial receptivity and hormonal status of the mother. 2. embryo related factors such as; number of transferred embryo, embryo scores including: number and size of the blastomeres, and their fragmentation. The aim of the pr...

OBJECTIVE ART has helped millions of infertile couples worldwide to overcome their childlessness. These successes have been accompanied by an increase in multiple deliveries, and perinatal complications associated. The explanation for this complication is the transfer of more than one embryo, to increase the odds of delivery. Our objective was to compare the outcome of elective dual embryo tran...

Embryo transfer has become an important reproductive tool in many equine breeding programs throughout the world today. It is commonly utilized to produce multiple foals in a season from a particular mare, to produce foals from mares involved in some other activity such as showing or racing, and to produce foals from mares otherwise unable to successfully carry a foal to term. Surgical embryo tr...

BACKGROUND What role should previous cesarean section play in affecting clinical pregnancy outcomes and avoiding the complications of in vitro fertilization? In this article, we focus on elective single-embryo transfer (eSET) versus double-embryo transfer (DET) and assess the clinical efficacy and safety of eSET in patients who have a previous cesarean scar. MATERIAL AND METHODS The pregnancy, ...

Background: Controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) has been shown to advance endometrial maturation and affect adversely implantation in assisted reproduction technology (ART) cycles. It has been reported that there is a better embryo-endometrium synchrony in frozenthawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles than fresh embryo transfer (ET) cycles. The Background of this study was to compare ongoing pregn...

This review addresses issues regarding the need in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) field for further predictive markers enhancing the standing embryo selection criteria. It aims to serve as a source of defining information for an audience interested in factors related to the wide range of multiple roles played by cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) in several aspects of IVF ultimately associated wi...
