Abstract:

Many myths are still present today in assisted reproductive techniques and particularly in infertility management. Most of them exist because we do not want to really look at the facts for various reasons. In this lecture we will review 7 of these myths: 1. HP-HMG improves pregnancy rates, 2. HMG prevents progesterone rise in follicular phase, 3. Clinical importance of progesterone rise in follicular phase, 4. Ovarian stimulation increases the risk of breast cancer, 5. Oocyte vitrification does not give good live birth rates, 6. IMSI improves live birth rates, and 7. pre-implantation genetic screening improves live birth rates. For each of these myths the literature will be objectively reviewed trying to outline the real facts.
