Liver damage induced by ovarian stimulation has been demonstrated in some cases reported in the literature. However, there has never been a fruitful debate on this topic. The present manuscript tried to fill this gap. We reported a case of a 35-year-old nulliparous woman admitted to our obstetric emergency room for severe pre-eclampsia. She had been subjected to four cycles of controlled ovaria...

The role of transvaginal pulsed colour Doppler ultrasound in the assessment of ovarian vascularity was studied in 196 in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. The changes in ovarian blood flow after gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) down-regulation and human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) stimulation were determined. The data obtained showed that the ovarian blood flow was significant...

Ovarian torsion is one of the common gynaecologic surgical emergencies. stimulation in infertility treatment has become a major risk factor for ovarian torsion. The diagnosis condition challenging early pregnancy and timely can prevent morbidity both mother foetus. We present case 28 years old primi gravida known polycystic syndrome (PCOS) conceived after ovulation induction, at 7 weeks period ...

BACKGROUND The identification of polymorphisms associated with a disease can help to elucidate its pathogenesis, and this knowledge can be used to improve prognosis for women with a particular disorder, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Since an altered response to ovarian stimulation is also a characteristic of the disease, further knowledge about its aetiology could help in defining t...

Background: Our Background was to evaluate the effect of ovarian endometrioma on ovarian stimulation outcomes in Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Materials and Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we followed 103 patients underwent ICSI procedures at royan Institute during 10 month. The study group consisted of 46 women who had endometriomawith size more than 1 cm. The control gr...

Controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles is the starting point from which couple's prognosis depends. Individualization in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) starting dose and protocol used is based on ovarian response prediction, which depends on ovarian reserve. Anti-Müllerian hormone levels and the antral follicle count are considered the most accurate and ...

Achieving ovulation in women with Kallmann's syndrome requires both exogenous FSH and LH to successfully stimulate follicular maturation and ovarian steroidogenesis. We present a case of a woman with Kallmann's syndrome, who had poor ovarian response to stimulation by exogenous gonadotrophins. When she was given testosterone by patch before initiation of gonadotrophins, her stimulation dramatic...

Background: To determine whether random-start controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), in which a stimulation is performed regardless to day of patient’s menstrual cycle, has similar outcomes in comparison to conventional early follicular phase-start COS for cryopreservation of fertilized oocytes in cancer patients. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was performed at two infertility cen...

Cryopreservation of embryos, oocytes, or ovarian tissues is the main option for female fertility preservation. Oocyte cryopreservation has emerged as especially important: the dramatic increase in the number of infants born from vitrified oocytes indicates that it is becoming one of the most important intervention options. However, oocyte cryopreservation with standard controlled ovarian hypers...
