objective: this study was conducted to compare the results of fixed versus flexible gnrh antagonist protocols in controlled ovarian stimulation for intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) in patients with pcos. materials and methods: a randomized clinical trial was performed on 100 pcos women, who were admitted to a tertiary infertility clinic and were candidate for ivf/icsi. they were divided...

Background To compare a flexible, multi-dose GnRH antagonist protocol with a long GnRH .agonist protocol in poor respo MaterialsAndMethods A randomized clinical trial of 70 poor responder patients (35 patients in GnRH antagonist protocol and 35 patients in long GnRH agonist protocol) was performed at Royan Institute, Tehran, Iran. Both groups were given a fixed dose of human menopausal gonadotr...

The goal of ovarian Stimulation for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is obtaining multifollicular growth ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most Severe and also potentially Life-threatening complications, which happens in 1-10% of IVF cycles. The most common risk factors which are related to OHSS are polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), younger age, high preovulatory...

Minimal stimulation in vitro fertilization (mini-IVF) consists of a gentle controlled ovarian stimulation that aims to produce a maximum of five to six oocytes. There is a misbelief that mini-IVF severely compromises pregnancy and live birth rates. An appraisal of the literature pertaining to studies on mini-IVF protocols was performed. The advantages of minimal stimulation protocols are report...

advantages of mild-stimulation have long been appreciated, while there was a called for more patient-friendly approach in ovarian stimulation around 20 years ago (1)...

Treatment strategies for the infertile couple with endometriosis must be based on the specific situation. Traditional medical therapy for endometriosis, such as progestins, danazol, and GnRH agonists, have been shown to have little impact on enhancing spontaneous pregnancy rates despite well described beneficial effects on reducing pain. For the young women with only minimal or mild endometrios...

Background The conventional ovarian stimulation protocol aims to provide the maximum number of oocytes for fertilization which is lead to several embryos for selecting to transfer. There are some complications in this case like; OHSS, Multiple gestation, Time consuming, Patients discomfort, High costs, Emotional distress and Reduced implantation rate due to the embryo- endometrial asynchrony. R...

background: recently different studies suggested that discontinuation of gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogue (gnrha) at beginning of ovarian stimulation (improvement of ovarian response to gonadotrophins) may have some benefit to poor responder patients in invitro fertilization (ivf) cycles. objective:the efficacy of gnrha stop protocol in poor responder patients in ivf cycles was assessed...
