OBJECTIVE To assess whether total reproductive potential (TRP), the chance of a live birth from each fresh cycle (fresh cycle plus frozen transfers), could be calculated from the national Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System (SART CORS) database and whether information not available in SART CORS resulted in significant changes to the TRP calculation. DE...

An interstitial ectopic pregnancy is a rare and a dangerous form of an ectopic pregnancy. It presents late clinically and it is difficult to be imaged radiographically. We are presenting a case of an interstitial pregnancy which was a surprise intra operative finding.As Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedures are becoming popular, the incidence of ectopic pregnancies is likely to incr...

In the past several years, however, scientists have begun to sound a cautionary note about the health outcomes of A...

Physicians play important roles in supporting those who wish to become parents and in educating patients about impediments to fertilization and way to promote conception. We ...

Now-a-days the assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are progressing and advancing rapidly. Many reproductive medicine specialists do believe in ART to be the first choice for infertile women regardless of age related issues while gynecologists do believe in reproductive surgery as basic treatment option for these patients. Debate is still unsolved between reproductive surgery or ART which i...
