abstract background: in order to evaluate the role ofketoconazole in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) undergoing ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins, a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study was done on one-hundred and nine pcos women that had been refeited to be treated by gonadotropins. method...

Many protocols have been proposed to improve IVF outcomes for poor ovarian responders. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between age, ovarian hyperstimulation protocol and IVF/ICSI outcomes in poor ovarian responder (POR) according to the Bologna criteria, and to compare the efficacy of different protocols used in PORs undergoing IVF/ICSI. We retrospectively analyzed clinica...

INTRODUCTION Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) has been suggested as a predictor of ovarian response to ovulation induction and controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-six women, wishing to become pregnant and who showed resistance to clomiphene citrate, were included in the study. All women received recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (recFSH). RESULTS In the group...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the oocyte quality in patients with severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). DESIGN Self-controlled clinical study. SETTING University teaching hospital. PATIENT(S) Twenty-two patients from our assisted reproductive technology (ART) program who developed severe OHSS during their first controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm in...

BACKGROUND Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a widely accepted treatment for unexplained and male subfertility. No consensus exists about the drug of first choice to be used as hyperstimulation. This randomized multicentre trial using a parallel design compares the efficacy of clomiphene citrate (CC) with that of recombinant FSH (rFSH). METHODS Couple...

background: there are some controversial data on application of progesterone and progesterone plus estrogen at luteal phase. objective: to investigate the effects of different luteal support hormones on the alkaline phosphates (alp) activity in the endometrial epithelium and endometrial thickness during superovulation process for obtaining the optimized endometrial receptivity in animal model. ...

For the couple having trouble achieving pregnancy, the options and opportunities for assistance have never been brighter. Options such as controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, in vitro fertilization, and intracytoplasmic sperm injection have been developed over the past five decades and provide hope for couples that previously would have been considered infertile. In vitro fertilization and intr...
