BACKGROUND Frozen thawed embryo transfer (FET) is a cost-effective adjunct to IVF or IVF-ICSI treatment. In order to optimize treatment outcome, FET should be carried out during a period of optimal endometrial receptivity. To optimize implantation several methods for endometrium preparation have been proposed. In natural cycle FET (NC-FET), the endometrium develops under endogenous hormonal sti...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of natural cycle (NC) endometrial preparation for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in women with advanced endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study included 179 patients with stage III-IV endometriosis who underwent 233 FET cycles at a tertiary care academic reproductive medical center between March 2011 and Au...

Abstract Background There remains a lack of evidence to demonstrate whether the initiation time estrogen stimulation is flexible in proliferative endometrial phase during artificial cycle for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (AC-FET). Methods FET records were retrospectively reviewed from large university-affiliated reproductive medicine center. Only patients who undergoing their first with single...

Ovarian stimulation followed by oocyte aspiration has facilitated a number of cryopreservation techniques. Embryo cryopreservation has become a well-established and highly endorsed form of fertility preservation in young female cancer patients (American Society for Reproductive Medicine, American Society of Clinical Oncology, European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, British Fertil...

the main factors affecting pregnancy and implantation rates are uterine receptivity, embryo quality, and transfer efficiency. embryo transfer (et) is the last step of critically important procedure of in vitro fertilization (ivf) and probably the least successful step in assisted reproductive technology (art) treatment cascade; though simple in most of the cases, it may pose to be the most diff...

Background: The aim of our study was to compare the resulting from transfer of embryos that cryopereserved in cleavage stage after thawing and transfer of embryos after thawing and culture in sequentional media until blastocyst formation. Materials and Methods: In this prospective clinical study, we have evaluated 128 cycles in women undergone in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sp...

Background and Aim: Applying Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) is increasing. A critical step in ART the frozen embryo transfer, which endometrium thickness has great significance outcome. In this case, will be transferred during next cycle. There are several ways to prepare an for transmitting embryos; however, choosing best method remains debated. The present study aimed evaluate preg...

background: there is no doubt that luteal phase support is essential to enhance the reproductive outcome in ivf cycles. in addition to progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin, several studies have described gnrh agonists as luteal phase support to improve implantation rate, pregnancy rate and live birth rate, whereas other studies showed dissimilar conclusions. all of these studies have b...

Sir, We read with great interest the study entitled ‘Transfer of fresh or frozen embryos: a randomized controlled trial’ (Wong et al., 2021), recently accepted for publication in Human Reproduction. In this well-designed (n = 204), Wong al. tried to address question whether elective ‘embryo freeze-all strategy’ (i.e. transfer frozen-thawed blastocysts [FETs]) was superior ‘conventional and FETs...

BACKGROUND Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) reports generated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) exclude embryo banking cycles from outcome calculations. METHODS We examined data reported to the CDC in 2013 for the impact of embryo banking exclusion on national ART outcomes by recalculating autologous oocyte ART live birth rates. Inflation of reported fresh ART cycl...
