OBJECTIVE To analyze data from a large multicenter study to determine whether pregnancy and delivery rates decrease with repeated IVF-ET cycles. DESIGN Multicenter retrospective study. SETTING Participating centers from the Society of Assisted Reproductive Technology. PATIENT(S) Fifty-four centers contributed 4,043 cycles of oocyte retrieval for uterine transfer. INTERVENTION(S) Oocyte ...

Background: Conventional IVF and ICSI are two common techniques to achieve fertilization. IVF has long been used for treatment of infertility, although it is not an effective treatment in severe male infertility. The use of ICSI has been expanded in severe male factor and fertilization failure after IVF cycle. In spite of the widespread use of ICSI in patients with non-male factor infertility, ...

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is recognized when transferred embryos fail to implant following repeated in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles [1]. RIF is commonly defined as the failure of implantation after three or more consecutive IVF attempts, with which 1-2 high-grade embryos were transferred in each cycle [2]. Cytotrophoblast invasion to the proper depth of the uterus secures proper ...

In vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies present an enormous hope to couples with fertility difficulties. Assisted reproductive technology is one of the risk factors that can result in anxiety in these couples. Indeed, IVF-treatments cause a stress, for both the woman and her partner. The different stages of the IVF-procedure can affect the emotional life of the...

BACKGROUND Adenomyosis is linked to infertility, but the mechanisms behind this relationship are not clearly established. Similarly, the impact of adenomyosis on ART outcome is not fully understood. Our main objective was to use ultrasound imaging to investigate adenomyosis prevalence and severity in a population of infertile women, as well as specifically among women experiencing recurrent mis...

Objective: The most severe complication of IVF, death, is reported rarely. IVF-pregnancies are known to have more obstetric complications, which may result in a higher incidence of maternal deaths. In order to demand attention to this severe complication and to prevent recurrence, we collected deaths that may have been related to IVF. Materials and Methods: All deaths from 1984-2008 were collec...
