Poor ovarian response to stimulation for in vitro fertilization

Does the Ovarian Stimulation Phase Length Predict In vitro Fertilization Outcomes

Impact of The Endometrioma on Ovarian Response and Pregnancy Rate in In Vitro Fertilization Cycles

Mild ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization: are we ready to change? A meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of mild ovarian stimulation versus conventional stimulation in in vitro fertilization (IVF). DESIGN Meta-analysis. SEARCH STRATEGY A systemic literature search was carried out for prospective randomised clinical trials. We electronically searched using PubMed, Medline and Embase for all the studies published from 1990 to December 2011. INTERVENTIONS Mild ...

Effect of smoking on ovarian reserve and ovarian stimulation in in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

The effect of cigarette smoking on ovarian reserve as measured by basal serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) concentrations, and by the response to a standard ovarian stimulation protocol, was examined retrospectively in 173 consecutive women (108 non-smokers and 65 smokers) undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer treatment. Women who smoked had a higher mean basal serum...

Genetic Polymorphisms Influence the Ovarian Response to rFSH Stimulation in Patients Undergoing In Vitro Fertilization Programs with ICSI

INTRODUCTION Obtaining an adequate number of high-quality oocytes is a major challenge in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). To date, a range of hormonal and clinical parameters have been used to optimize COH but none have significant predictive value. This variability could be due to the genetic predispositions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Here, we assessed the individual...
