INTRODUCTION: Investigation of the number of oocytes recovered from different ovarian stimulation (OS) protocols is essential, as oocyte number is positively associated with the number of good-quality embryos obtained; however, there are fe…
BACKGROUND: Estrogens have been proposed as modulators of gut microbiome (GM) composition, yet evidence from observational studies remains inconsistent. OBJECTIVE: This meta-analysis aimed to systematically summarise existing evidence on G…
INTRODUCTION: Several studies indicate that a specific genotype profile could influence ovarian sensitivity to exogenous gonadotropin. However, most of the previous studies were observational and retrospective and thereby more prone to bias…
Objective: To study the actual controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) management in women with suboptimal response, comparing clinical outcomes to the gonadotropins consume, considering potential role of luteinizing hormone (LH) addition to f…
SETTING: Luteinizing hormone (LH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) act on the same receptor, activating different signal transduction pathways. The role of LH or hCG addition to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) as well as menopausal…
