background: luteal phase support is mandatory in art (assisted reproductive technologies) for optimizing outcome, so the luteal phase is supported with either progesterone, addition of estradiol to progesterone, hcg or gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) agonists. supplementation of luteal phase with progesterone is prescribed for women undergoing routine ivf treatment. objective: to compare ...

objective: to evaluate the impact of luteal phase support with vaginal progesterone on pregnancy rates in the intrauterine insemination (iui) cycles, stimulated with clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg), in sub fertile couples. materials and methods: this prospective, randomized, double blind study was performed in a tertiary infertility center from march 2011 to january 2...

Cumulative pregnancy rate has been significantly increased since frozen-thawed embryo transfer was applied in ART cycles. This method has become an essential part of IVF/ICSI treatment. Luteal phase support has been proven to be associated with higher rate of live birth rate. Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and progestrone have been successfully used for luteal phase support in ovarian stim...

background: the luteal phase defect is a common event following the ovarian stimulation. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of human chorionic gonadotropine (hcg) and progesterone hormones to improve the luteal phase defect. materials and methods: 60 mice were superovulated routinely with human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg) (7.5u) and hcg (10u). the mice were mated and divided...

Background GnRH agonist triggering is one of the strategies for ovulation triggering and final maturation of oocytes. So , should be notice for luteal phase support in these cycles. At the first it was began for prevention of severe OHSS but it was associated with luteal phase problem and lower pregnancy rate due to luteolysis effects of GnRH agonists. So, two other alternative strategies have ...

Background & Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the immediate effect of patella support brace on co-contraction and electromyographic activity of selected lower limb muscles in females with patellofemoral pain syndrome during stance phase of gait. Methods: EMG activity of vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, rectus femoris, gastrocnemius, biceps femoris, semitendinosus, gluteus medi...
