OBJECTIVE: Pregnancy after an embryo transfer depends largely on embryo quality, endometrial receptivity, and the technique used in the embryo transfer. Embryo transfers have been reported as inevitably traumatic and difficult for 5-7% of p…

In 100 consecutive patients who were undergoing laparoscopy for infertility (group 1, n = 52), chronic pelvic pain (group 2, n = 18) or tubal sterilization (group 3, n = 30, asymptomatic fertile women), peritoneal biopsies were taken from a…

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and multiple pregnancies are the two main complications of ovulation induction using gonadotropins. Withholding an ovulatory dose of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) remains the safest option for p…
