In-vitro maturation is a technique used to perform assisted reproduction in women with high ovarian reserve, who are at risk for ovarian stimulation. With this technique occasionally 3-4 days of gonadotropins are planned to enlarge the follicles and aid in oocyte collection. Human choreinonic gonadotropin is also given to ease the collection. These few days of ovarian stimulation were felt to b...

Abstract Study question Do the oocytes retrieved after luteal phase ovarian stimulation (OS) have same survival rate as those follicular (OS)? Summary answer Oocyte vitrification is similar in a OS compared to phase. What known already Oocytes recently captured scientific interest dual gaining popularity. obtained added shorten time pregnancy per intention treat poor responders. Embryos with th...

The gradual increase in follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) concentrations in women approaching menopause results from the depletion of the ovarian follicular pool, a process referred to as 'ovarian ageing'. This study investigates whether variable endogenous FSH concentrations, as have been observed in normo-ovulatory young women, are related to menstrual cycle characteristics, including predic...

Antimüllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by Sertolli cells of the testes and granulosa cells of the ovaries. Recent studies have indicated that AMH may be a novel measure of ovarian reserve. Also, earlier reports have presented minimal fluctuations ofAMH levels throughout the menstrual cycle. The aim of this preliminary study was to demonstrate the relation of serum AMH levels and age in women w...

background: apoptosis is a process that plays an important role during early stage of implantation. the aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of apoptosis in mice endometrium after ovarian stimulation at implantation period. methods: nmri female mice were divided into two groups: 1) control group, which were rendered pseudopregnant by vaginal stimulation and 2) experimental group, ...

Type 2 receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor are believed to be involved in the pathophysiology of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The objective of this study was to examine the preventive effects of cabergoline on OHSS and its complications. The study is a non randomized clinical trial conducted in 2006-2008 on 75 patients, which were at risk of OHSS and underwent assisted...

Assisted conception treatment has been widely available throughout the world for more than two decades, but the success rate of this technology in terms of rates of live births per cycle is still low. Conventional in-vitro fertilization (IVF) usually involves the use of ovarian stimulation. Stimulated IVF is currently popular because initial studies showed that this treatment resulted in improv...

BACKGROUND Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a marker of the ovarian reserve with promising prognostic potential in reproductive medicine. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic ability of AMH for predicting excessive or poor responses to ovarian stimulation using gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist and GnRH antagonist protocols in patients undergoing medically assisted reproduction (MAR)...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the effect of pituitary desensitization on the early growing follicle population through assessment of serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) concentration. Other markers of ovarian reserve, basal follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, inhibin-B and three-dimensional ultrasound ovarian parameters were also assessed for comparison. ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the IVF outcomes of mild ovarian stimulation with conventional ovarian stimulation in poor responders. METHODS From 2004 to 2009, 389 IVF cycles in 285 women showed poor responses (defined as either a basal FSH level ≥12 mIU/mL, or the number of retrieved oocytes ≤3, or serum E(2) level on hCG day <500 pg/mL) were analyzed, retrospectively. In total, 119 cycles with mild ...
