Two patients with a history of previous myomectomy came to the centre for infertility evaluation. Both underwent controlled ovarian stimulation followed by ICSI at our centre. Frozen embryo transfer was done hormone replacement therapy protocol where two good quality blastocysts were transferred on day 5. After transfer, urine pregnancy tests positive. But early scans showed pregnancies implant...

Intrauterine insemination is a simple, non-invasive and safe initial treatment option, especially in low resource settings for selected group of patients before initiating assisted reproduction technology treatment. A wise selection timing are key to its success. Detailed assessment the infertile couple, controlled ovarian stimulation with follicular development monitoring, appropriate processi...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether poor response to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is due to a qualitative decline in ovarian function. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 436 patients younger than 35-years old, undergoing COS for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Patients with four or fewer MII oocytes after COS (poor-responder group, PR, n = 52) were age-matched with...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of surgical treatment of endometrioma on pregnancy rate and ovarian response to gonadotrophin stimulation in women undergoing IVF. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis. SETTING Tertiary referral center for reproductive medicine. PATIENT(S) Subfertile women with endometrioma undergoing IVF. INTERVENTION(S) Surgical removal of endometrioma or ex...

background: despite numerous developments in the field of assisted reproduction the implantation rate remains low .recent studies suggested that local injury to endometrium in controlled ovarian hyper stimulation cycle improves implantation rate. studies have attempted to intervene in the development of endometrium. objective: the aim of the present study was the exploration of the possibility ...

Objective(s): Progestrone is a prequisite for pre-implantation angiogenesis and induce decidual angiogenesis. It is unknown the effect of progestrone administration on the endometrium of hyperstimulated mice at pre-implantation time. Material and Methods: Adult female NMRI mice were divided in three groups [control group, ovarian stimulated group and progestrone treated mice after ovarian stimu...

BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that exposure to benzene is associated to menstrual disorders, miscarriages and other disorders of the reproductive system. We performed an observational prospective pilot study to evaluate if levels of benzene in follicular fluid were correlated with response to controlled ovarian stimulation. METHOD Thirty-four normogonadotrophic women undergoing IVF we...

BACKGROUND In women, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels may represent the ovarian follicular pool and could be a useful marker of ovarian reserve. The clinical application of AMH measurement has been proposed in the prediction of quantitative and qualitative aspects in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). In men AMH is secreted in both the serum and seminal fluid. Its measurement may be u...
