Impact of ovarian stimulation duration in GnRH antagonist protocols on the cumulative ongoing pregnancy rate in women with normal ovarian reserve: a cohort study
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/s12958-026-01527-y

BACKGROUND: The optimal duration of ovarian stimulation in GnRH antagonist protocols remains insufficiently explored, despite its potential impact on oocyte quality, embryo development, and endometrial receptivity. Identifying an optimal st…

Progestin-primed ovarian stimulation for oocyte cryopreservation in patients with nonmedical indications: a case-control study
Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/s12958-025-01402-2

BACKGROUND: The PPOS (Progestin Primed Ovarian Stimulation) protocol has been evaluated and has proved its effectiveness in preventing the LH (luteinizing hormone) surge. This protocol is often used for cryopreservation for social reasons b…

Higher risk of pre-eclampsia and other vascular disorders with artificial cycle for frozen-thawed embryo transfer compared to ovulatory cycle or to fresh embryo transfer following in vitro fertilization
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2023.1182148

BACKGROUND: Risks of maternal morbidity are known to be reduced in pregnancies resulting from frozen embryo transfer (FET) compared to fresh-embryo transfer (fresh-ET), except for the risk of pre-eclampsia, reported to be higher in FET preg…
