intrauterine insemination (iui) has been widely used for the treatment of infertility. several prognostic factors for iui outcome have been proposed, including the endometrial thickness and follicle numbers, etiology and duration of infertility and morphology, type and motility of sperms. a total of 463 iui cycles in which clomiphene citrate and/or human menopausal gonadotrophin (hmg) were used...

Correct controlled ovarian stimulation is of paramount importance in assisted reproductive technologies. Therefore, analysis of the ovarian reserve of the patient is mandatory to tailor the best ovarian stimulation regimen. When the ovarian reserve is reduced, the induction of a multifollicular growth remains a challenge. Several factors could be associated with reduced ovarian response. Howeve...

CONTEXT Controlled ovarian stimulation induces morphological, biochemical, and functional genomic modifications of the human endometrium during the window of implantation. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to compare the gene expression profile of the human endometrium in natural vs. controlled ovarian stimulation cycles throughout the early-mid secretory transition using microarray technology. M...

background: recently different studies suggested that discontinuation of gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogue (gnrha) at beginning of ovarian stimulation (improvement of ovarian response to gonadotrophins) may have some benefit to poor responder patients in invitro fertilization (ivf) cycles. objective:the efficacy of gnrha stop protocol in poor responder patients in ivf cycles was assessed...

background: different protocols are used for controlled ovarian hyper stimulation (coh), but the optimal method has not yet been determined. objective: the aim of this study was to compare the outcome of controlled ovarian stimulation (cos) using clomiphen citrate (cc) plus hmg versus cc plus rfsh in intra uterine insemination cycles (iui). materials and methods: 144 women with unexplained or m...
