Purpose: To assess if consecutive oocyte retrieval (OR) of more than three times for poor ovarian responders could be an effective method to obtain competent embryos becoming babies.

introduction: to determine the prevalence of oocyte pick up complications in 1120 cycles of ivf . material and methods: in this prospective study 1120 pationts that were reffered to infertility clinics for ivf were enrolled. the patients with the infertility following co4 by regimens of cc+ hmg/hcg, hmg/hcg, hmg+ gnrh-a/hcg were punctured by transvaginal sonography, preformed after injection of...

Our previous study reported microorganisms in human follicular fluid. The objective of this study was to test human follicular fluid for the presence of microorganisms and to correlate these findings with the in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. In this study, 263 paired follicular fluids and vaginal swabs were collected from women undergoing IVF cycles, with various causes for infertility, a...

Previous reports have shown that the presence of hydrosalpinges may have a detrimental effect on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes and salpingectomy has been recommended by some authors as a means of improving IVF pregnancy rates. Our first objective was to determine the effect of hydrosalpinges diagnosed by ultrasound on IVF outcomes in our clinic. Our second objective was to examine the e...

Oocyte retrieval guided by transvaginal ultrasound is a fundamental step in the vitro fertilization (IVF), thas performed on an outpatient basis. has been associated with pain, discomfort, and anxiety [1,2].

BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking has been associated with worse infertility treatment outcomes, yet some studies have found null or inconsistent results. METHODS We followed 225 couples who underwent 354 fresh non-donor assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles between 2006 and 2014. Smoking history was self-reported at study entry. We evaluated the associations between smoking patterns and A...

BACKGROUND Follicular aspirates represent a snapshot in time of conditions within the follicle at oocyte retrieval in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. This clinical material has been much investigated and yet its cellular composition remains unclear. In this study we investigated the origin and profile of leukocytes found within follicular aspirates. METHODS We per...

Failure to retrieve oocytes after normal ovarian stimulation has been labeled ‘empty follicle syndrome’ (EFS). The existence of genuine EFS has been questioned and is still controversial. Here, we report an unusual case in which an extraordinary number of empty follicle-like structures were identified in the ovarian aspirate at the time of retrieval. A 31-year-old woman presented with a 4-year ...

The issue of fertility preservation in patients with cervical cancer is getting more and common considering the improved effectiveness early diagnosis treatment cancer. There a number evidence-based tactics available to diagnosed These have been proved effective include methods such as ovarian transposition; oocyte, embryo tissue cryopreservation. Nonetheless, there are no existing medical algo...
