background: there are some controversial data on application of progesterone and progesterone plus estrogen at luteal phase. objective: to investigate the effects of different luteal support hormones on the alkaline phosphates (alp) activity in the endometrial epithelium and endometrial thickness during superovulation process for obtaining the optimized endometrial receptivity in animal model. ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of a 3-month course of GnRH agonist administered immediately before IVF-ET in infertile patients with endometriosis. DESIGN Prospective, randomized trial. SETTING Three tertiary care assisted reproductive technology programs. PATIENT(S) IVF-ET candidates with surgically confirmed endometriosis. INTERVENTION(S) Twenty-five patients received three courses ...

Objective: To review the clinical aspects of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and provide recommendations on its prevention . Options: Preventative measures, early recognition, and prompt systematic supportive care will help avoid poor outcomes . Outcomes: Establish guidelines to assist in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, early recognition of the condition when it occurs, a...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a recognized complication of ovulation induction. Abnormalities in liver function have been considered to be a rare manifestation of the severe form of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). A 28 year old woman with primary infertility underwent ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination. She was diagnosed with moderate OHSS and was followed as an ...

BACKGROUND Minimal stimulation in vitro fertilization (mini-in vitro fertilization) is an alternative in vitro fertilization treatment protocol that may reduce ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, multiple pregnancy rates, and cost while retaining high live birth rates. OBJECTIVE We performed a randomized noninferiority controlled trial with a prespecified border of 10% that compared 1 cycle of...

INTRODUCTION We aimed to identify the variables associated with ovarian hyperstimulation in Asian patients and compare them with western standards. METHODS This is a retrospective case record analysis of 79 patients with ovarian hyperstimulation at a tertiary restructured hospital. RESULTS Gonadotropin doses resulting in hyperstimulation did not vary between long and antagonist cycles in wo...

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...
