Background: Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) has been suggested as a marker of ovarian reserve and predictor of ovarian response to controlled ovarian hyper stimulation. The aim of this study is to determine the role of AMH in prediction of success ART cycles in patients with normal FSH serum levels. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study included 80 infertile women under 4o years, wh...

Background: Sperm chromatin integrity assessment has been suggested as fertility predictor. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the results of sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) and the outcome of intrauterine insemination IUI. Materials and Methods: A total of 576 consecutive couples undergoing IUI were included and IUI was performed. SCSA results were expressed a...

Pre-pregnancy body mass index and weight gain management are associated with pregnancy outcomes in expecting women. Poor gestational (GWG) could increase the risk of adverse complications. These risks can be alleviated by lifestyle based interventions if undesired GWG trend is detected early on pregnancy. Current literature lacks analysis data tracking over time. In this work, we collected long...

BACKGROUND This study was aimed to assess the effect of endometrial movements on pregnancy achievement in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS The population of this observational study was composed of unexplained infertility couples undergoing first-time IUI with clomiphene citrate between September 2010 and October 2011. Not only endometrial movements, but also thic...
