background: spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome rarely occurs during pregnancy and is usually associated with high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin, in conditions such as molar or multifetal pregnancies. case report: here we report spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation in a patient presenting with missed abortion at 16th week of gestation, when serum ß-subunit human chorionic gon...

Objective—The aim of the present randomized study was to investigate w hether ovarian s tim u­ lation treatm ent with gonadotropin preparations containing different am ounts of LH activity resulted in variations of steroidal composition of follicular fluid. A different endocrine m ilieu w ith in the follicle m ight influence oocyte quality. Methods—Antral fluid from m ature follicles was collec...

objective: in order to evaluate the endometrium by ultrasound in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (coh) with clomiphene citrate (cc) and human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg) with intrauterine insemination (iui) to determine the relationship between endometrial pattern and thickness on pregnancy rate (pr). methods: in this prospective study, 108 infertile couples underwent ...

objective: to evaluate the impact of luteal phase support with vaginal progesterone on pregnancy rates in the intrauterine insemination (iui) cycles, stimulated with clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg), in sub fertile couples. materials and methods: this prospective, randomized, double blind study was performed in a tertiary infertility center from march 2011 to january 2...

background:   objective: to evaluate the effect of unilateral tubal blockage diagnosed by hsg on cumulative pregnancy rate (cpr) of the stimulated iui cycles.   materials and methods: a cross-sectional analysis was performed between october 2006 and october 2009 in an academic reproductive endocrinology and infertility center. two groups of patients undergoing stimulated iui cycles were compare...

Background: Nandrolone decanoate (ND) is an anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) which influences the ovarian structure and function. We assessed the effects of ND on the ovarian volume, number of primordial follicles, and level of hormones and also evaluated the modulatory effects of gonadotropins on the histopathological changes imposed by the administration of ND. Methods: Six groups of Sprague...
