The incidence of ectopic pregnancy after assisted reproductive technology is increased approximately 2.5-5-fold compared with natural conceptions.Strategies were used to decrease the incidence of ectopic pregnancy, but ectopic pregnancy still occurs. In the present study, women were selected with decreased ovarian reserve (defined as FSH > 10 IU/L) aged 20 to 38 years who underwent IVF-ET betwe...

Background Infertility is the inability to conceive children after one year of unprotected intercourse. The estimated prevalence of infertility in Canada is 11.5-15.7%. Fertility problems affect approximately one in seven couples in the United Kingdom (UK). Infertility occurs in conditions in which the pregnancies end with recurrent miscarriages (ASR) or birth of a child with multiple congenita...

AIM To evaluate the effect of laparoscopic treatment of unilateral ovarian endometrioma on ovarian reserve using ultrasonographic markers, ovarian volume and antral follicle count (AFC), and two biochemical markers, serum levels of Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Estradiol (E2). MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective study included 40 patients in their reproductive age, between 18 and 4...

background: detection of best predictor of ovarian reserve in patients with temporarily or consistently elevated early follicular phase serum levels of fsh is one of the most important goals in assisted reproductive technique (art). objective: to evaluate whether high level of anti-mullerian hormone level is related to success of art in patients with temporarily or consistently elevated early f...

OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of prior unilateral or bilateral endometrioma cystectomy on controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome. DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. SETTING Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey. PATIENT(S) Fifty-seven consecutive infertile patients wer...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review discusses ovarian reserve tests for ovulation induction and their application in determining fertility capacity, and their current applications to assess risk of natural ovarian failure and to estimate ovarian function after cancer treatment. RECENT FINDINGS The current arsenal of ovarian reserve tests comprises hormonal markers [basal follicle stimulating hormon...

Ovarian reserve reflects a woman's fertility potential. The ABO blood group system is a very stable genetic marker. Although many recent studies have explored the relationship between ABO blood group and ovarian reserve, a consensus has not yet been reached. This paper is the first meta-analysis and systematic review of the relationship between ABO blood type and ovarian reserve. We analyzed se...

background: anti-müllerian hormone (amh) is secreted by the granulosa cells of growing follicles during the primary to large antral follicle stages. abnormal levels of amh and follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) may indicate a woman’s diminished ability or inability to conceive. our aim is to investigate the changes in serum amh and fsh concentrations at different age groups and its correlation ...
