BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), recently renamed polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), is characterised by neuroendocrine dysfunction with accelerated gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH)/luteinising hormone (LH) …
BACKGROUND: Functional hypothalamic amenorrhoea (FHA) is responsible for 20-35% of all cases of secondary amenorrhoea and, thus, is the second most common cause of secondary amenorrhoea after polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A high number …
RESEARCH QUESTION: To determine whether the use of oral dydrogesterone (DYD) in luteal phase support (LPS) during an artificial cycle provides equivalent clinical and ongoing pregnancy, delivery and miscarriage rates as micronized vaginal p…
The association between endometriosis and autoimmune diseases is well known, however no acquired platelet function defect has been described so far. We describe the case of two patients with endometriosis associated with an antiplatelet gly…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does colorectal endometriosis surgery prior to IVF ± intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) impact cumulative live birth rates? DESIGN: This retrospective, monocentric study (Lille University Hospital) was conducted bet…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Clomiphene citrate (CC) is one of the first-line treatments for ovulation induction in women with anovulatory polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, nearly 1 out of 2 women is resistant to 50 mg/day of CC. The objecti…
RESEARCH QUESTION: How does the typology and effect of pain vary between infertile patients with or without endometriosis during the different stages of the IVF process? DESIGN: A prospective, monocentric, observational cohort study was co…
Intrauterine insemination with donor sperm (IUI-D) is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) offered to couples with definitive male infertility or risk of genetic disease transmission. Here, we sought to evaluate our practice in IUI-D a…
PURPOSE: The primary objective of the present study of women participating in an ICSI program was to determine whether the morphologic quality of oocytes was related to the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotype. METHODS: We performed …
OBJECTIVE: The need of luteal support after FET is no longer to be proven. Different routes of progesterone administration are available with interindividual differences in metabolization and serum progesterone levels, the latter being high…
BACKGROUND: Infertility associated with endometriosis can be explained by several non-exclusive mechanisms. The oocyte plays a crucial role in determining embryonic competence and this is particularly relevant for in vitro fertilization (IV…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a condition that affects women's fertility. Several mechanisms are involved in this process: anatomical changes, mechanical, immune or inflammatory factors, ovarian reserve alterations... There are different t…
BACKGROUND: Pulsatile GnRH therapy is the gold standard treatment for ovulation induction in women having functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA). The use of pulsatile GnRH therapy in FHA patients with polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM),…
Deep endometriosis is a frequent disease that affects reproductive age women. This disease is characterized by the presence of functional endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus. The common sites of extragenital endometriosis are the bow…
