Background: Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) has been suggested as a marker of ovarian reserve and predictor of ovarian response to controlled ovarian hyper stimulation. The aim of this study is to determine the role of AMH in prediction of success ART cycles in patients with normal FSH serum levels. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study included 80 infertile women under 4o years, wh...

background: in spite of the great progress in assisted reproductive techniques ( art) and although good quality embryos are transferred pregnancy rates have remained around 30%-35% due to low implantation rates. objective: the aim of this study was to assess and compare the effects of administrating indomethacin or hyoscine suppositories prior to embryo transfer on the pregnancy rate in art cyc...

background: implantation remains a limiting step in ivf/icsi. endometrial injury isa promising procedure aiming at improving the implantation and pregnancy rates after ivf/icsi. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of endometrial injury induced in precedingcycle on ivf/icsi outcome. materials and methods: four hundred patients undergoing their first ivf/icsi cycle in two ...

UNLABELLED OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the outcome of fresh and vitrified-warmed cleavage-stage and blastocyst-stage embryo transfers in patients undergoing ART treatment within an ethnic Chinese population. STUDY DESIGN We compared the clinical results of embryo transfer on the 3rd (cleavage stage) or 5th (blastocyst stage) day after oocyte retrieval, including clinical pregn...

Objective: Due to high prevalence of infertility and increasing tendency towards complementary medicine, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of a vaginal natural product based on honey and 1% extract of Myristica fragrans on the extent of success of intrauterine insemination (IUI). Materials and Methods: This non-randomized clinica...

Background Coasting is the most common method used in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) acting through vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) reduction. However, the pregnancy rate is reported to fall with coasting when it takes more than three days. Recently lowdose cabergoline, a selective D2 dopamine receptor agonist has been proven to selectively reduce vascular ...

Background: The use of antioxidants in treatment of infertile men has been suggested, although the evidence base for this practice is unclear. A systematic review of randomized studies was conducted to evaluate the effects of oral antioxidants (vitamins C and E, zinc, selenium, folate, carnitine and carotenoids) on sperm quality and pregnancy rate in infertile men. Materials and Methods: MEDLIN...

background: human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg) has contributed many improvements to human assisted reproduction. however, effects of hmg on oocyte development and clinical results remain controversial. objective: this study was conducted to investigate the effects of hmg on the zona pellucida of oocytes, as well as clinical results in superovulation treatment. materials and methods: this retro...
