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…

A review of advancements in primordial follicle activation and cyclic recruitment research over the past 25 years is presented. The review examines the latest insights into the mechanisms of primordial follicle activation and the role of th…

Similar to diabetes and unlike many pathogen-induced diseases, endometriosis is likely a result of maladaptation to the evolutionary heritage of humans. The objective of this article is to review the literature and improve understanding of …

BACKGROUND: In a true-natural cycle (t-NC), optimal progesterone (P4) output from the corpus luteum is crucial for establishing and maintaining an intrauterine pregnancy. In a previous retrospective study, low P4 levels (< 10 ng/mL) measure…

Despite the worldwide increase in frozen embryo transfer, the search for the best protocol to prime endometrium continues. Well-designed trials comparing various frozen embryo transfer protocols in terms of live birth rates, maternal, obste…

PURPOSE: There is no established non-invasive method to diagnose patients with endometriosis. As a nondestructive type of radiation, infrared light might be used for discrimination by causing vibration of the covalent bonds of the molecules…

Study question Are live birth rates (LBR) different after ART cycles between women with primary or recurrent endometrioma? Summary answer Women with recurrent endometrioma have similar LBR as compared to patients with primary endometrioma. …

STUDY QUESTİON: Are live birth rates (LBR) different after ART cycles between women with primary or recurrent endometrioma? SUMMARY ANSWER: Women with recurrent endometrioma have similar LBR as compared to patients with primary endometrio…

Objective. To investigate in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment outcomes of unilateral oocyte retrieval in patients with transvaginally inaccessible ovaries. Study Design. Ninety-two women who underwent unilateral oocyte retrieval were ret…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the best protocol to prepare endometrium for frozen embryo replacement (FER) cycles. METHODS: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis. Following PubMed and OvidSP search, a tot…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of salpingectomy on the ovarian reserve. Comparisons are made with the contralateral side in patients with unilateral salpingectomy undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. STUDY DESIGN:…
