Background: This retrospective study compared pregnancy outcomes from single embryo transfer (SET) with multiple embryo transfer (MET) in too young (≤25 years) and young (>25 years) infertile patients. Materials and Methods: Data from infertile patients who referred for ART treatment to Yazd infertility center during 1992 to 2012 were studied retrospectively. Records of patients with SET or MET...

BACKGROUND IVF treatments carry a high risk of twin pregnancy which confers a higher risk to the mother and child than singletons. Increased use of elective single embryo transfer (eSET) can reduce this twin rate. We aimed to utilize a previously published data set and statistical model based on routinely collected clinical data to predict the outcomes of policies that increase the proportion o...

objective: to evaluate effects ofg-csf on a cancelled art cycle due to thin endometrium. materials and methods: in a nonrandomized clinical trial from january 2011 to january 2013 in two tertiary university based hospitals fifteen patients undergoing embryo transfer and with the history of cycle cancellation due to thin endometrium were studied. intrauterine infusion of g-csf was done on the da...

BACKGROUND The respective advantages of day 3 and day 5 embryo transfer are a matter of debate. Previous comparisons did not include pronuclear stage zygote scoring and cumulative success rates (fresh and cryopreserved embryos). METHODS Patients were randomized prospectively for day 3 or day 5 embryo transfer. Day 3 embryos were selected for transfer and cryopreservation by using combined eva...

BACKGROUND Multiple pregnancies are one of the major safety concerns of in vitro fertilization (IVF) due to the increased risk of maternal and neonatal complications. Single embryo transfer is the most effective way to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies. Selection of the embryo and optimization of the implantation environment are crucial to retain the success rate when the number of transf...
