Another round, another chance: oocyte developmental competence and outcomes in second IVF attempts-the earlier, the better
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-026-03961-8

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether the outcomes and characteristics of a first IVF/ICSI cycle are associated with embryological and clinical outcomes in a subsequent cycle performed within 2 years. METHODS: This retrospective single-center obser…

Comparing endometrial preparation protocols and clinical outcomes: lessons learned from 3507 vitrified-warmed euploid transfers
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-026-03910-5

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether artificial endometrial preparation using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) influences clinical and neonatal outcomes compared with modified natural cycles (mNC) in single euploid vitrified-warmed blastocyst tran…

Rates and risk factors of oocyte immaturity: toward personalized selection for rescue in vitro maturation
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-025-03722-z

PURPOSE: To identify treatment-related factors influencing low oocyte maturation rates in standard ovarian stimulation (OS) cycles and patients' candidates for clinical studies on rescue-IVM. METHODS: Retrospective study including retrieva…

Ten years of DuoStim in time-sensitive poor-prognosis IVF patients: real world cumulative outcomes and treatment trajectories
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2026.1854570

AIMS: To evaluate DuoStim strategy across a decade from its clinical implementation in IVF by comparing embryological and clinical outcomes between the first and second ovarian stimulations (1st-OS and 2nd-OS) conducted within 30 days, focu…

A multicycle approach through DuoStim with a progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol: a valuable option in poor prognosis patients undergoing PGT-A
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-024-03317-0

PURPOSE: This study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a PPOS protocol in poor prognosis patients undergoing IVF with DuoStim and PGT-A versus the conventional protocol with GnRH antagonist. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study encompassin…
