Background: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) predicts decreased response to stimulation. Low serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is associated with DOR. AMH a marker of and acts as predictor stimulation protocol. The up regulated by vitamin D via elements that bind the receptor. Vitamin supplementation has role in increasing AMH. objective was compare combined effect DHEA vs alone on Methods: Th...

Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is the most serious complication of ovarian stimulation. This novel study aimed to describe an outpatient treatment protocol for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) that results in rapid normalization of symptoms with minimal side effects. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was undertaken at Infertility department of Shariati Hospital a...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of FSH doses on intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes according to the age of the patient. METHODS Patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) for ICSI cycles in a university-affiliated in vitro fertilization center were split into age groups: ≤35 y.o. (n=1523); >35 and ≤38 y.o. (n=652); >38 and ≤40 y.o. (n=332); and >40 y.o. (n=370). ...

The past decade has seen growing interest in ovarian stimulation protocols with GnRH antagonists in an effort to reduce the incidence of potential complications, such as cyst formation and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and thus improve the clinical experience for patients. Current assisted reproductive technique programmes also increasingly utilize milder protocols for ovarian stimulation....

Abstract Study question Does double stimulation, followed by a fresh ET (DUO-STIM fresh) improve outcomes as compared with single stimulation in young poor prognosis patients? Summary answer Compared to DUO-STIM leads significantly higher number of good quality embryos, without hindering embryo transfer outcomes. What is known already Dual Stimulation (ovarian both the follicular and luteal pha...

BACKGROUND To compare the clinical results and the cost-effectiveness of using the aromatase inhibitor, letrozole, in conjunction with FSH and FSH alone for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in patients undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI) for a variety of indications. METHODS Four hundred and thirty-two consecutive patients who underwent 872 IUI cycles were included. The study popul...

BACKGROUND In view of the discrepancies about the GnRH antagonist (GnRH-ant) ovarian stimulation protocols having some potential advantages compared with the GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) protocols in poor ovarian responders IVF/ICSI, a meta-analysis of the published data was performed to compare the efficacy of GnRH-ant versus GnRH-a protocols for ovarian stimulation in IVF poor response patients. M...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of ovarian stimulation on the outcome of intrauterine insemination (IUI). DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING A single university-based centre. POPULATION A total of 5109 couples with 8893 cycles. METHODS The outcome of IUI with different protocols for ovarian stimulation was examined. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The live birth rate (LBR), twin pregnancy ...
