Abstract:

Background In vitro fertilization (IVF) and intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are recognized as established and increasingly successful forms of treatment for infertility, yet significant numbers of couples discontinue treatment without achieving a live birth. This study aims to identify major factors that influence the decision to discontinue IVF/ICSI treatments. MaterialsAndMethods We studied the data of 338 couples who discontinued their infertility treatments after three cycles; based on medical records and phone contact. The main measure was the reason for stopping their treatments. Results Economical problems were cited by 212 couples (62.7%), as their mean income was significantly less than other couples (p

Heterotopic Pregnancy after Assisted Reproductive Techniques

Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is the simultaneous occurrence of intra- and extrauterine pregnancies. It is a rare event in spontaneous pregnancies with an incidence of less than 1:15000 however the frequency has increased to 1% in accordance with the widespread use of assisted reproductive techniques (ART). The pre-operative diagnosis of this condition is generally difficult and it would be life t...

P-166: Assisted Reproductive Techniques Outcomes in Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism Women

Background: To evaluate the outcomes of using in vitro fertilization (IVF)/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI cycle) techniques in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism women and comparing them to women with tubal factor infertility. Materials and Methods: Data from 81 hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) patients treated with IVF/ICSI in the period from early 2009 until the end of 2010 were analyze...

Role of Antioxidants in Assisted Reproductive Techniques

Oxidative stress (OS) has been recognized as a significant cause of suboptimal assisted reproductive outcome. Many of the sperm preparation and manipulation procedures that are necessary in the in vitro environment can result in excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) thereby exposing the gametes and growing embryos to significant oxidative damage. Antioxidants have long been util...

New Assisted Reproductive Techniques for Horses

Introduction Although embryo transfer provides a means of obtaining pregnancies from some mares that might not otherwise be capable of producing offspring, some mares cannot provide embryos for transfer. Mares in which embryo transfer may not be successful include those with: 1) failure of ovulation, 2) chronic endometritis (uterine inflammation), or 3) anatomical problems (e.g., cervical adhes...
