OBJECTIVE: To examine intrapatient variability in retrieved oocyte numbers across consecutive in vitro fertilization (IVF) ovarian stimulation (OS) cycles with an identical OS protocol. DESIGN: Cross-continental, multicenter retrospective …
Ultrasound monitoring and hormonal blood testing are considered by many as an accurate method to predict ovulation time. However, uniform and validated algorithms for predicting ovulation have yet to be defined. Daily hormonal tests and tra…
PURPOSE: To investigate the association between endometrial compaction and pregnancy rates in unstimulated natural cycle frozen embryo transfers. DESIGN: A single-center prospective cohort study. Endometrial thickness by transvaginal ultra…
BACKGROUND: The cumulus expansion process is one of the LH mediated ovulatory processes. Hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) regulates the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, the main component of the cumulus expansion process. Recently, the lncRNA HAS2…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mRNA expression of genes related to steroidogenesis and OHSS in granulosa cells (GCs) of patients triggered with GnRH agonist compared to patients triggered with hCG. DESIGN: Mural GCs were obtained at the tim…
AIM: To evaluate the effect of local injury to the endometrium during spontaneous menstrual cycles before in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment on implantation and pregnancy rates in women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). METHOD…
