Background The effect of hysteroscopic polpectomy for endometrial polyps during treatment cycles is still debated and further studies are necessary to evaluate beneficial effect of this procedure. MaterialsAndMethods This matched case-control study compared retrospectively 86 women with and without hysteroscopic polypectomy who underwent in vitro fertilization and / or Intracytoplasmic sperm in...

The goal of ovarian Stimulation for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is obtaining multifollicular growth ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most Severe and also potentially Life-threatening complications, which happens in 1-10% of IVF cycles. The most common risk factors which are related to OHSS are polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), younger age, high preovulatory...

background: one the main aspects of an in vitro fertilization (ivf) cycle is to avoid any possible systemic damage to women undergoing to a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (coh). the aim of this work is to evaluate renal and hepatic function blood tests in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation during ivf cycles. materials and methods: all patients received a long stimulati...

we examined the demographic characteristics of couples, ovarian response and sperm quality to determine the predictors of clinical fertilization in ivf cycles. a descriptive and analytic study was conducted using data and biologic specimens obtained fatemeh-alzahra of babol infertility center from 2004 to 2005. only data from 315 women who had medical indication for conventional ivf treatment w...

BACKGROUND Poor ovarian response and retrieval of no oocytes following ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a challenging problem for both the patient and the clinician. FINDINGS Recent evidence indicates that folliculogenesis occurs in a wave-like fashion indicating that there are multiple follicular recruitment waves in the same menstrual cycle. This relatively new scient...

Background: Based on classical two cell- two-gonadotropin theory, in the follicle, FSH and LH put on their main effects on the granulosa and theca cells. LH is essential for androgens production. Androgens as precursor, is used for estradiol production by granulosa cells under aromatase activity. Profound suppression of LH concentrations in some normogonadotropic patients can cause several adve...

PCOS is still a problem in gynecology and infertility. Especially in ART the problem of PCOS patients is bigger and more highlighted. These patients are prone to over and under stimulation. Strategies to overcome hyper stimulation are: use of metformin, ovarian drilling, use of minimal stimulation, suppressing LH with use of OCP or GnRh analogues, use of GnRh antagonist in COH. But none of thes...
