BACKGROUND An examination of the alterations in Fibroblast Growth Factor-1 (FGF-1) expression in a group of repeated implantation failure after in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients, when compared to fertile patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Study group consisted of 24 patients with repeated implantation failure and 29 fertile control patients. Endometrial samples received at the luteal phase we...

The success of assisted reproduction, although gradually increasing over the years, is still less than satisfactory. Many couples have benefited from this treatment; many have also been left frustrated following multiple failed attempts (Bulent Urman et al. 2005). Repeated implantation failure (RIF), defined as three or more failed IVF attempts or failure of IVF after cumula- Abstracts of the 5...

background: despite major advances in assisted reproductive techniques, the implantation rates remain relatively low. some studies have demonstrated that intrauterine infusion of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (g-csf) improves implantation in infertile women. objective: to assess the g-csf effects on ivf outcomes in women with normal endometrial thickness. materials and methods : in this...

Implantation failure is the most frequent cause of pregnancy loss in couples who try to conceive, either in a natural way or using assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Identify the precise mechanisms of implantation failure can lead to identify couples at risk and also providing appropriate therapeutic options to affected couples. Despite the high prevalence of this disorder, a few causing f...

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) has many definitions, but usually authors consider RIF, the failure to achieve a pregnancy fallowing 2-6 IVF cycles in which more than 10 high grade embryos were transferred to the uterus. There are a lot of causes for RIF but two main causes of that are related to embryo and endometrium. Chromosomal abnormalities, zona hardening and problems in culture medi...
