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 ...

Timis SUMMARY: The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is produced by the exaggerated action of the gonadotropic hormones used for ovulation induction in case of in vitro fertilization, currently being considered an iatro...

advantages of mild-stimulation have long been appreciated, while there was a called for more patient-friendly approach in ovarian stimulation around 20 years ago (1)...

Cryopreservation of embryos and gametes has become an indispensible service for infertility treatment. Vitrification is now a prevalent technique for cryopreservation in assisted reproductive technology (ART) replacing, in many cases, conventional slow cooling methodology. Fertility preservation in female patients has become a very topical issue. Various malignant and nonmalignant diseases have...

The present study offers a meta-analysis of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles using corifollitropin alfa for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in comparison with daily recombinant FSH (rFSH). The study examined seven RCTs including 2138 patients receiving corifollitropin alfa and 1788 women receiving daily rFSH for CO...

Objective: The use of GnRH antagonist versus GnRH agonist in poor responder for patient undergoing ovarian hyperstimulation and in vitro-fertilization was compared. Materials and Methods: In this study, 23 patients underwent ovarian hyperstimulation with recombinant FSH followed by the use of GnRH antagonist (Cetrorelix) 0.25mg during the late Follicular Phase. These patients were compared to 2...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is rare but most serious complication of ovarian stimulation. Symptoms are mainly related to increased capillary permeability leading to extravasation of fluid into extravascular compartment. Disease pathophysiology is linked to hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) which acts through angiogenic molecule vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). There is r...

Success of any assisted reproductive technology is dependent on selection of correct stimulation protocol. This is based on prestimulation assessment of female to assess ovarian response and reserve. But, this assessment can also be done by ultrasound scan on 2nd to 3rd day of menstrual cycle, named as ‘baseline scan’. This scan is done to categorize ovary into one of the four types: Normal ova...
