background: c-reactive protein (crp) can be increased after hormonal stimulations. the changes of crp might affect the success of in-vitro fertilization (ivf). objective: the aim of this study was to determine the possible relationship between the serum crp level and outcome of controlled ovarian stimulation, and pregnancy rate in patients undergoing ivf or intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ic...

This study aimed to investigate the developmental competence of ovum pick-up collected oocytes on three stages of the follicular wave: Days 2, 5 and 8. A group of 11 cows was used in successive cycles to perform ovum pick-up on either Day 2, 5 or 8 of an induced follicular wave (three sessions per stage). Follicular waves were initiated by puncturing the dominant follicle and all other follicle...

The technique of ultrasound-guided transvaginal follicular aspiration for ovum pick-up (OPU), is a non-invasive procedure for recovering oocytes from antral follicles in live animals. It was developed in the human [1,2] to assist human infertility. When people realized its application prospect, considerable researches have been aimed at applying this technology in the bovine. In 1987, an ultras...

Repeated oocyte collection by transvaginal ultrasound-guided follicular puncture (Ovum Pick-Up: OPU), implicitly associated to in vitro embryo production (IVEP), has become alternative and competitive to superovulation for embryo production in cattle. It is alternative because it can be applied successfully irrespective of the reproductive status of the donor, i.e. in pregnant and acyclic anima...

STUDY QUESTION What proportion of pregnancies are a result of ovum transmigration after salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy? SUMMARY ANSWER Approximately one-third of spontaneously conceived pregnancies are a result of pick-up of the ovum from the ovary contralateral to the remaining tube in women with a history of salpingectomy. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The corpus luteum has been found contra...

We present a rare case of cystic cervicitis in 42-year-old woman who came to our unit suffering from primary infertility for one year. Her only complaint was infertility. She not chronic pelvic pain or increased vaginal discharge neither before nor after marriage. Diagnosis made by both transvaginal ultrasound examination and MRI. As her main problem infertility, she refrained doing cone biopsy...
