The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical application of uterine artery blood flow parameters by vaginal color Doppler ultrasonography in patients with repeated embryo implantation failure and to examine the correlation between uterine artery blood flow parameters and microvessel density (MVD). We monitored the outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in eighty pat...

Receptivity is a limited time in which uterine endometrium can establish a successful dialogue with blastocyst. This study was to investigate the effect of asynchronous embryo transfer on uterine receptivity in mice. Embryos under different stages were transferred into two oviduct sides of a recipient mouse on day 1 of pseudopregnancy. Our results showed the asynchronously transferred embryos c...

The objective of this study was to evaluate, using an embryo donation model, whether impaired oocyte/embryo developmental competence and/or changes in uterine milieu are responsible for the previously observed adverse effects of superovulation with gonadotrophins on implantation and fetal development in mice. Embryos from superovulated and non-stimulated females were transferred to separate ute...

An appropriate and easy embryo transfer has a direct impact on pregnancy rates. Proper evaluation of the uterocervical axis and uterine depth are necessary for suitable embryo transfer. The aim of this study was to assess the appropriate time for cervical axis evaluation and uterine measurement. A total of 124 patients undergoing IVF treatment were included in the study. They were divided equal...

Background and Objective: In- vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the approved treatment options for infertility. Despite many progresses in this field, its success rate is about 20 -25%. Utilization of drugs which suppress or decrease uterine smooth muscle contraction before embryo transfer, theoretically can improve fertility by increasing implantation rate. This study was designed to evaluat...

The learning objectives of this presentation are to understand the dynamics involved in the process of ET, evaluate the evidence for/against common practices and techniques and develop a standardized ET process in view of supporting evidence. Gametes and embryos are handled with extreme care at every step of the Laboratory process. ET is the least sophisticated step of the in vitro Fertilizatio...

A matched follow-up study design was used to test the hypothesis that pregnancy rates following assisted reproduction procedures do not differ between women with or without intramural or sub-serosal uterine leiomyomas. Women undergoing their first in-vitro fertilization (IVF)-embryo transfer or zygote intra-Fallopian transfer (ZIFT) cycle between January 1993 and June 1995 were included. Cases ...

Embryo transfer refers to a step in the process of assisted reproduction in which one or several embryos are placed into the uterus of a female with the intent to establish a pregnancy. Currently this biotechnology has become one of the prominent high businesses worldwide. This technique, which is often used in connection with in vitro fertilization (IVF), has widely been used in animals or hum...

BACKGROUND Embryo transfer (ET) is one of the most important steps in assisted re- productive technology (ART) cycles and affected by many factors namely the depth of embryo deposition in uterus. In this study, the outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injec- tion (ICSI) cycles after blind embryo transfer and embryo transfer based on previously measured uterine length using vaginal ultrasound were...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of fibroids on the blood flow of the uterine and subendometrial arteries and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. METHODS In this study, we analyzed 86 IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles in which a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol was used for controlled ovarian stimulation between January 2008 and March 2009. The subject...
