The aim of this investigation is to determine the correlation of color Doppler (CD) and color Doppler Energy (CDE) imaging and measurements of ovarian stromal blood flow prior to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), predictors of success of COH and numbers of oocyte retrieved, especially in group of poor responders. Fifty-two patients on IVF treatment were included in this prospective cli...

background: gnrh agonist and antagonist were developed to control the premature release of lh surge. there is some difference between two protocols. objective: we compared the outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer in infertile women who used gnrh agonist or antagonist protocol for previous coh cycle and evaluation of any adverse effect of gnrh antagonist on oocyte and embryo. materials and m...

BACKGROUND The use of oral progestin has been shown to effectively prevent luteining hormone (LH) surge during ovarian stimulation with daily human menopausal gonadotropin injections. This study was aimed to investigate the efficacy of long-acting follicle stimulating hormone (long-acting FSH; corifollitropin alfa, Elonva®) use in progestin-primed ovarian stimulation for normal and high respond...

objective: recently the laparoscopic ovarian drilling (lod) has been used as a surgical treatment for ovulation in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos), although its mechanism and outcomes are still unclear. this study was undertaken to evaluate the in vitro fertilization (ivf)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) outcomes in clomiphene-resistant women with pcos who were treated wit...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the predictive value of serum and follicular fluid (FF) concentrations of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) with respect to treatment outcome variables in an IVF cycle. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed with data from 731 normogonadotrophic women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation after stimulation with highly purified menotrophin (HP-hMG) or rFS...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present randomised controlled non-inferiority trial is to test whether in women with compromised ovarian reserve requiring in vitro fertilisation, a protocol of ovarian stimulation using exclusively clomiphene citrate performs similarly to a regimen with high doses of gonadotropins. METHODS Women with day 3 serum FSH > 12 IU/ml on at least two occasions or previous p...

OBJECTIVE Elevated progesterone levels surpassing exact treshold values impede endometrial receptivity and decrease clinical pregnancy rates in different responder patients during assisted reproductive techniques. A progesterone (P): estradiol (E2) ratio of > 1 on the day of hCG administration has also been suggested to be a manifestation of low ovarian reserve. The clinical significance of P/E...

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether physicians’ choice of ovarian stimulation protocol is associated with laboratory outcomes.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingSingle academic center.Patient(s)The subjects were 4,458 patients who completed more than one in vitro fertilization cycle within 1 year. On second stimulation, 49% repeated the same and 51% underwent a different one.Intervention(s)Estrad...

BACKGROUND This Phase IV, open-label, multicentre, randomized study (MEnTOR) compared two low-dose recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH) protocols for ovulation induction. METHODS This study was conducted in six Middle Eastern countries between March 2009 and March 2011. Eligible women (18-37 years), with World Health Organization Group II anovulatory infertility, were rando...
