background: we sought to determine the association between factors that affected clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in patients who underwent in vitro fertilization (ivf) and received intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) and/or laser assisted hatching (lah), or neither. materials and methods: in this retrospective cohort study, the records of women who underwent ivf with or without icsi...

a descriptive prospective study was undertaken to determine birth weight, length and head circumference of live births and to examine the effect of maternal age, parity and gestational age on birth sizes of the live births. a total of 459 term singleton maternal– neonate pairs were studied. the neonates had anthropometric measurements determined with in 24hours of life using standard methods. t...

background: to compare the pregnancy outcomes after two embryos versus three embryos transfers (ets) in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (ivf)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) cycles. materials and methods: this retrospective study was performed on three hundred eighty seven women with primary infertility and with at least one fresh embryo in good quality in order to transfer at e...

Many myths are still present today in assisted reproductive techniques and particularly in infertility management. Most of them exist because we do not want to really look at the facts for various reasons. In this lecture we will review 7 of these myths: 1. HP-HMG improves pregnancy rates, 2. HMG prevents progesterone rise in follicular phase, 3. Clinical importance of progesterone rise in foll...

OBJECTIVE To determine the live birth and cumulative live birth rates of expected poor ovarian responders according to the Bologna criteria and to compare their outcomes with those of expected normal responders. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING University infertility clinic. PATIENTS A total of 1,152 subfertile women undergoing their first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. INTER...

Background To compare the pregnancy outcomes after two embryos versus three embryos transfers (ETs) in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. MaterialsAndMethods This retrospective study was performed on three hundred eighty seven women with primary infertility and with at least one fresh embryo in good quality in order to transfer at each ...

background: despite of higher pregnancy rate after frozen embryo transfer (fet) which is accepted by the majority of researches, the safety of this method and its effect on neonatal outcome is still under debate. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate pregnancy and neonatal outcome of fet compare to fresh cycles. materials and methods: in this study,1134 patients using fresh et and 28...
