BACKGROUND: Treatment exposures for childhood cancer reduce ovarian reserve. However, the success of assisted reproductive technology (ART) among female survivors is not well established. METHODS: Five-year survivors of childhood cancer in…

ImportanceSurplus cryopreserved embryos pose a challenge for in vitro fertilization patients and clinics; with Roe v. Wade overturned, some states may deem the discarding of surplus embryos illegal, radically changing in vitro fertilization…

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to assess if very-low-dose Lupron (VLDL) and ultra-low-dose Lupron (ULDL) protocols can have comparable cycle outcomes when compared to other "poor responder" stimulation protocols based on POSEIDON …

PURPOSE: To assess if there is an optimal oocyte retrieval (OR) technique to retrieve a maximum number of oocytes and mature oocytes (MII). METHODS: Retrospective cohort study in which nine physicians completed a survey on OR techniques. N…

PURPOSE: During a typical IVF cycle, there is unavoidable attrition from oocytes retrieved to blastocysts formed. Some patients will not have blastocysts available to biopsy or embryos for transfer. The purpose of this study was to predict …

IMPORTANCE: In in vitro fertilization cycles using autologous oocytes, data have demonstrated higher live birth rates following cryopreserved-thawed embryo transfers compared with fresh embryo transfers. It remains unknown if this associati…

OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this study was to test the hypotheses that compared to IVF cycles undergoing preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) with or without testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M), IVF cycles unde…

BACKGROUND: Infertility history may have important implications for clinical practice and scientific discovery. Previous research on the validity of self-reported infertility measurements has been limited in scope and duration (< 5 years). …

PURPOSE: To determine the expected out-of-pocket costs of IVF with preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) to attain a 50%, 75%, or 90% likelihood of a euploid blastocyst based on individual age and AMH, and develop a persona…

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical predictors of failure of a single dose of methotrexate (MTX) for management of ectopic pregnancy after in vitro fertilization (IVF). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was pe…

BACKGROUND: The causes of female infertility are multifactorial and necessitate comprehensive evaluation including physical examination, hormonal testing, and imaging. Given the associated psychological and financial stress that imaging can…

PURPOSE: Morphological evaluation is currently considered the single most important predictive measure for assessing embryo quality. The aim of this study was to investigate whether cycles with at least one non-cleaved embryo (i.e., a 1-cel…

The study of human fertility has expanded dramatically since the birth of IVF and with it, the body of literature. That said, the availability of open access publication in the field remains somewhat limited. Fertility Research and Practice…

PURPOSE: To compare pregnancy rates of embryo transfers performed by a patient's own IVF physician to pregnancy rates of embryo transfers performed by other physicians on the IVF team. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study; University hospit…

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) secretion of T-helper (Th)-1 type cytokines and Th-2 and Th-3 type cytokines in women undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is associated with the…

PURPOSE: The effect of uterine leiomyomas on the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment has been controversial. This study was undertaken to clarify influence of fibroids on IVF success, in a large population with age and other p…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence and predictors of risk for operative complications, conversions to laparotomy, and postoperative admissions after laparoscopic procedures. METHODS: We obtained demographic information on and medical hi…
