The field of reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) is at a crossroads; there is a mismatch between demand for reproductive endocrinology, infertility and assisted reproductive technology (ART) services, and availability of care. …

RESEARCH QUESTION: How can outcomes in programmed frozen embryo transfers (FET) be improved, and what are the key areas where more research is needed? DESIGN: Using a Delphi-consensus framework, a scientific committee comprising five exper…

OBJECTIVE: To compare live birth outcomes between euploid donor oocyte and euploid autologous oocyte-derived embryos among patients with advanced maternal age. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study (2010-2023) comparing outcomes of donor and …

OBJECTIVE: To compare pregnancy outcomes after single blastocyst embryo transfer among patients whose first autologous embryo transfer was either a fresh embryo transfer or a frozen embryo transfer (FET) after a freeze-all, in the absence o…

PURPOSE: There is an unclear relationship between estradiol levels and fresh embryo transfer (ET) outcomes. We determined the relationship between estradiol on the day of trigger, in fresh ET cycles without premature progesterone elevation,…

PURPOSE: Assess the rate, rationale, and characteristics of patients who cryopreserved and subsequently discarded their oocytes, and compare their characteristics to patients with continued cryopreservation of oocytes. METHODS: All patient…

The technique and platform used for preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) have undergone significant changes over time. The contemporary technique utilizes trophectoderm biopsy followed by next-generation sequencing (NGS). …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA) improves live births in patients with and without a history of unsuccessful frozen embryo transfers (FETs). DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Large reproduc…

The high efficacy of modern assisted reproductive technology (ART) and increase in the number of noninfertile patients who are using ART for family building in the United States call into question the relevance of the standard, one-size-fit…

OBJECTIVE: To examine the outcomes of in vitro fertilization with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) in couples in whom the male partner has a karyotypic abnormality or Y chromosome microdeletion (YCM). DESIGN: Retrospective cohor…

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether subfertility in patients with endometriosis is due to impaired endometrial receptivity by comparing pregnancy and live-birth outcomes in women with endometriosis versus two control groups without suspected en…

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the risk of a multiple gestation pregnancy in ovarian stimulation intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles when stratified by patient age and mature follicle number. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study a…

OBJECTIVE: To compare live-birth rates, blastocyst to live-birth efficiency, gestational age, and birth weights in a large cohort of patients undergoing single versus double thawed blastocyst transfer. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. …

Imaging is often part of the evaluation of gynecologic disorders, with transvaginal ultrasound being the most frequently used imaging modality. Although laparoscopy, hysterosalpingography, and hysteroscopy can add diagnostic accuracy, they …
