In the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) cycle of the in vitro fertilizationembryo transfer (IVF-ET) therapy, the clinicians observe the patients’ responses to gonadotropin dosages through closely monitoring their physiological states, to balance the trade-off between pregnancy rate and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) risk. In this paper, we model the clinical practice in the C...

Endometriosis is an enigmatic disease affecting 10-15% of reproductive aged women and is encountered in 25-35% of women suffering from infertility. IVF is an effective tool to overcome endometriosis-associated infertility when expectant management or surgery fails. Direct IVF should be envisioned if the female age is greater than 38 year and infertility is long lasting. Likewise, semen characte...

BACKGROUND In human assisted reproduction, the ovarian response to exogenous recombinant Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH) therapy is variable and difficult to predict. The standard protocol of ovarian hyperstimulation can result in satisfactory response; however, an unsatisfactory response necessitates FSH dose adjustment or results in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Polymorphisms i...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) still remains a life-threatening complication of in vitro fertilization treatment (IVF), keeping patients and especially those, who previously experienced OHSS, from attempting infertility treatment and childbearing. The recent implementation of four new modalities: the GnRH antagonist protocol, GnRH agonist (GnRHa) triggering of ovulation, blastocyst tr...

Ovarian hyperstimulation dyndrome(OHSS) is one of the most serious complications of ovulation indution in infertile women particularly in poly cystic ovare (PCO).in recent years,in association with the increasing frequency of assisted reproductive technology(ART) usage and significant improvements in the treatment of infertility,this iatrogenic phenomenon is more prevalent.the aim of this clini...
