background: multiple factors have been suggested for prediction of pregnancy in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) cycles such as the number of injected oocytes, fertilization rate, embryo morphology and quality of transferred embryos. predictive value of these factors is important in icsi outcome. objectives: to evaluate the role of embryo morphology for prediction of pregnancy in icsi cy...

OBJECTIVE The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of serum progesterone (P) levels on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration on embryo quality and pregnancy rate in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. DESIGN AND SETTING This was a retrospective analysis conducted in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) unit of a tertiary hospital. PATIENTS Two hu...

Background One of the important complications of assisted reproductive technologies is multiple pregnancy, the aim of the present study was to indentify the risk factors of multiple pregnancy independent of number of transfred embryos. MaterialsAndMethods This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of patients underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle in Royan Institute ...

background: improvement of assisted reproductive technique (art) results in higher pregnancy rates from positive beta hcg to take home baby statistics. despite developments in culture media allowing blastocyst stage transfer, some centers apply second, third and sometimes fourth day post injection for embryo transfer. this study aimed to compare their reproductive outcomes.   methods : this pro...

Background: Regarding the develops of treatment and management of infertility during recent three decades, success of these methods is limited. Therefore, this study tried to show how corticosteroid therapy improves the results of ICSI. Materials and Methods: This semi clinical trail studywithout control group, including infertile women were candidate to ICSI of Kosar infertility center in urmi...

background: the use of assisted reproductive technology (art) is increasing in the world. the rate, efficacy and safety of art are very different among countries. there is an increase in the use of intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi), single fresh embryo transfer (et) and frozen-thawed embryo transfer (fet). objective: the objective of this study was to compare pregnancy rate in fresh et a...

BACKGROUND The reduction of multiple pregnancies by using elective single embryo transfers (eSET) requires critical and careful selection of the embryo for transfer. The current study was undertaken to assess whether early cleavage could be used as a marker of embryo competence in eSET procedures. METHODS The study included analysis of 178 eSET procedures. All embryos were checked for early c...

Single-embryo transfer (SET) and more specifically elective SET (eSET) have taken their place in good clinical IVF/ICSI practice. After the initial cautious search for the characteristics of the twin-prone patient and of the selection of the embryo with the highest implantation potential many centres have embarked on the (progressive) implementation of SET, either by conviction or forced by leg...
