background: prolonged gnrh-a administration in ivf cycles may have some advantages related to the treatment outcomes. objective: in this study, we aimed to analyse the effect of prolonged gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (gnrh-a) administration on controlled ovarian hyperstimulation outcomes of in vitro fertilization (ivf) patients. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, 55 p...

background: the purpose of present study was to evaluate the role of pre-ovulatory gnrh agonist therapy on ivf outcomes in gnrh antagonist cycles. methods: in this prospective study we recruited 100 infertile women undergoing ivf cycles with gnrh antagonists. the patients were assigned to two groups: group a (the study group, n=42) were assigned for receiving hcg+triptorelin for the final oocyt...

background: endometriosis is one of the most challenging diseases that constitute 20% - 40% of women searching for their infertility diagnosis. objective: this study was undertaken in order to compare the outcome of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ivf/icsi) in women with endometriosis, and tubal factor infertility as controls. materials and methods: from 2005 to 2006 a ...

background: this study was undertaken to evaluate the role of day 3 fsh/lh ratio and day 3 lh level as predictors of ivf cycle outcomes. methods: this prospective observational study was undertaken in the ivf and reproductive biology centre and lok nayak hospital, affiliated to maulana azad medical college, in new delhi, india. the study included 105 women who underwent controlled ovarian hyper...

background: the latest studies reported that local endometrial injury is a useful method to improve the success of ivf-icsi outcome. objective: to assess whether local endometrial injury occurred by pipelle in the spontaneous cycle could improve implantation rate, cleavage rate, and pregnancy outcome in the subsequent ivf-icsi cycle in patients who had recurrent ivf failure. materials and metho...

ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) is a unique iatrogenic complication of controlled ovarian stimulation (coh)/in vitro fertilization (ivf) in reproductive endocrinology occurring during the luteal phase or early pregnancy. it can have a serious impact on the patient�s health. with the expansion of the assisted reproductive techniques (art) from 1978, the incidence of ohss is increasing w...

Background The aim of this study was to compare prenatal outcome of intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) pregnancies with pregnancies obtained through in vitro fertilization (IVF). MaterialsAndMethods Retrospectively 532 pregnancies of ART cycles were assessed during 1999-2000. The main outcome measured including abortions, ectopic pregnancies, prematurity, low birth weight, cesarean sectio...

background: in this study, we aimed to investigate the ability of transvaginal doppler ultrasonography in predicting in vitro fertilization (ivf) outcome in women undergoing this procedure. materials and methods: in this prospective observational study, 65 infertile women underwent ivf procedure in isfahan, during 2013-2014, were studied. the pulsatility index (pi), resistive index (ri) and pea...

To evaluate the association of the TP53 codon 72 (rs 1042522) alone or in combination with HDM2 SNP309 (rs 2279744) polymorphisms with human infertility and IVF outcome, we collected 1450 infertility women undergoing their first controlled ovarian stimulation for IVF treatment and 250 fertile controls in the case-control study. Frequencies, distribution, interaction of genes, and correlation wi...
