BACKGROUND Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is increasingly used to quantify ovarian reserve, but it has not yet realized its full clinical potential in assisted reproduction technology.

METHODS Retrospective data were coll...

background: one the main aspects of an in vitro fertilization (ivf) cycle is to avoid any possible systemic damage to women undergoing to a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (coh). the aim of this work is to evaluate renal and hepatic function blood tests in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation during ivf cycles. materials and methods: all patients received a long stimulati...

background: the preparation of endometrium for embryo reception is dependent on the ovarian hormones, which are affected by ovarian hyperstimulation procedure. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in morphometrical indices of endometrium by the daily injection of progesterone after mouse ovarian induction. materials and methods: adult virgin female mice were selected and...
