OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocol on follicular synchrony in a subsequent in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle in patients whose previous cycle was canceled due to asynchrony. METHODS: A single…

PURPOSE: While breastfeeding is known to impact unassisted conception, its effect on fertility treatment outcomes remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of breastfeeding on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) frozen embryo transf…

OBJECTIVE: Women are often concerned about the absolute quantity and quality of sperm in a thawed donor sample at the time of intrauterine insemination (IUI). The aim of this study was to determine how the total motile sperm count (TMSC) of…

The effectiveness of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) for patients with unexplained recurrent implantation failure (uRIF) remains debated. We retrospectively analysed outcomes of uRIF patients treated with IVIg compared to a separate contr…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the success of ovulation induction using oral agents versus gonadotropins (GTs) in women ≥38 years old. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study was performed including all first to third stimulated IUI cycles condu…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of non-cavity-distorting intramural leiomyomas on the placental histopathology pattern and perinatal outcome in singleton live births resulting from in vitro fertilization treatment. METHODS: The study popul…

Unexplained infertility is a common diagnosis affecting as many as 50% of couples seeking infertility care. As a diagnosis of exclusion, its treatment remains largely empirical. Historically, a step-wise progression in treatment has been in…

BACKGROUND: The female genital tract is not exposed to seminal plasma during standard assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles. However, it is thought that the inflammatory reaction triggered by seminal plasma may be beneficial by indu…

PURPOSE: To assess effects on fertilization rate, embryo quality, pregnancy, and live birth rates of vitrification and warming of oocytes that matured in vitro (vIVM) compared to fresh in vitro maturation (fIVM) cycles. METHODS: A retrospe…

PURPOSE: To compare clinical pregnancy rates and live birth rates of single blastocyst transfers performed by attending physicians or fellows in reproductive endocrinology and infertility program. METHODS: Retrospective study in an academi…

BACKGROUND: Endometriomata are endometriotic deposits within the ovary. The surgical management of these blood filled cysts is controversial. The laparoscopic approach to the management of endometriomata is favoured over a laparotomy approa…

Eighty-eight infertile patients undergoing laparoscopy were randomized to undergo chromopertubation with lipiodol or with normal saline. The cumulative probability of conception at 1, 3, and 6 months following laparoscopy was not statistica…
