Timis SUMMARY: The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is produced by the exaggerated action of the gonadotropic hormones used for ovulation induction in case of in vitro fertilization, currently being considered an iatro...

Background Ultrasound has a pivotal role in imaging modality in the study of the female pelvis, and provides fundamental information in detecting uterine, ovarian, or adnexal origin, but to reach to the best results we need to use suitable procedure. The aim of this article was to describe management of infertile patient in sonography department during infertility treatment cycles.���� Material...

in vitro fertilization (ivf) and other assisted reproductive technologies present an enormous hope to couples with fertility difficulties. assisted reproductive technology is one of the risk factors that can result in anxiety in these couples. indeed, ivf-treatments cause a stress, for both the woman and her partner. the different stages of the ivf-procedure can affect the emotional life of the...

minimal stimulation in vitro fertilization (mini-ivf) consists of a gentle controlled ovarian stimulation that aims to produce a maximum of five to six oocytes. there is a misbelief that mini-ivf severely compromises pregnancy and live birth rates. an appraisal of the literature pertaining to studies on mini-ivf protocols was performed. the advantages of minimal stimulation protocols are report...

Background: One of the most annoying problems in IVF is poor ovarian response. It is anticipated that 5-18% of all IVF cycle are affected by poor response to ovarian hyperstimulation. Poor response to goandotropin may lead to decline in the pool of embryos for transfer or cryoperservation, and decrease pregnancy rates. Different mechanisms explain poor ovarian response for example decreased num...

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...

It is known that the follicular selection and final stages of follicular maturation are equal if not more dependent on low circulating levels of LH.In addition to stimulating production of thecal androgens as substrate for estrogen synthesis, LH stimulates granulose cell via LH receptors induced by FSH and estrogen in larger but not smaller follicles. The data from numerous assisted reproductio...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation between serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and ovarian response to mild stimulation in normoovulatory women and anovulatory women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS Seventy-four cycles of mild stimulation (clomiphene citrate+gonadotropin followed by timed intercourse or intrauterine insemination) performed in normoovulatory women (57...

Controlled ovarian stimulation with subsequent multi-follicular development continues to be a keystone in ART. Evidence supports an individualized approach to ovarian stimulation, usually involving combinations of ovarian reserve tests, body mass index and age to tailor the exogenous gonadotropin dose, and potentially adjuvant treatment aiming for high safety and a shortening of time to live bi...

The aim of ovarian stimulation in fertility treatment is to increase the number large follicles and hence eggs that can be retrieved for vitro fertilisation (IVF). However, inter- intra-individual variability menstrual cycle response drugs complicate planning prediction. Hence, many mathematical models have been developed support decisions. In this article, we give an overview mechanistic cover...
