background: controlled ovarian hyper stimulation coh/iui represents a therapy applicable to a wide variety of infertility diagnosis with no significant mechanical distortion of pelvic viscera. identified variables influenced in intra uterine insemination include: age, cause of infertility, sperm number, motility and normal percentage, use of gonadotropine and number of attempts at iui. the role...

BACKGROUND There has been much debate about the effect of 'residual' LH levels in normogonadotrophic women undergoing assisted reproduction with GnRH agonist down-regulation and recombinant FSH ovarian stimulation. The aim of this prospective study, where receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used, was to assess further the usefulness of serum LH levels as predictors of ovarian r...

Background Fertility preservation for female cancer patients prior to cancer therapy has emerged as an essential component of comprehensive patient care. In the US, approximately 6% of women diagnosed with invasive cancer between 2007 and 2011 that were under 45 years old. The incidence of cancers in reproductive age women signifies a need for fertility preservation options and this need is inc...

BACKGROUND Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a marker of the ovarian reserve with promising prognostic potential in reproductive medicine. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic ability of AMH for predicting excessive or poor responses to ovarian stimulation using gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist and GnRH antagonist protocols in patients undergoing medically assisted reproduction (MAR)...

Effective controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is crucial for IVF outcome. Ovarian response to follicle-stimulating hormone, however, varies widely among women undergoing ovarian stimulation. Advance identification of patients who will elicit a poor or high response to standard treatment would be of great clinical benefit for such patients. Application of pharmacogenetics to ovarian response ma...

advantages of mild-stimulation have long been appreciated, while there was a called for more patient-friendly approach in ovarian stimulation around 20 years ago (1)...
