PURPOSE: We aimed to assess the impact of the timing of ovarian stimulation initiation on the number of oocytes retrieved in a progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol for oocyte donors. METHODS: A total of 110 oocyte donors wer…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the outcomes of pregnancies exposed to hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), and what factors predict the course of these pregnancies beyond the first trimester? SUMMAR…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Do women with endometriosis undergoing oocyte retrieval for fertility preservation experience the same level of pain as women undergoing oocyte retrieval for IVF? DESIGN: This retrospective cohort study included 796 cycl…

Results from studies reporting the optimal stimulation duration of IVF-ICSI cycles are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to determine whether, in the presence of early ovulation-triggering criteria, prolonged ovarian stimulation modif…

Dietary supplementation is commonly used in men with male infertility but its exact role is poorly understood. The aim of this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was to evaluate the impact of high-dose folic aci…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does mild COVID-19 infection affect the ovarian reserve of women undergoing an assisted reproductive technology (ART) protocol? DESIGN: A prospective observational study was conducted between June and December 2020 at th…

International guidelines are published to provide standardized information and fertility preservation (FP) care for adults and children. The purpose of the study was to conduct a modified Delphi process for generating FP guidelines for BGD.…

BACKGROUND: PPOS protocols, initially described for FP in women with cancer, have many advantages compared to antagonist protocols. PPOS protocols were not evaluated for women with endometriosis. The objective of the study was to describe f…

BACKGROUND: The management of endometriosis-related infertility is still under debate. The Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) score is performant to predict the occurrence of a spontaneous pregnancy following surgery, but was not evaluated…

OBJECTIVE: To study the fertility and live birth (LB) rate in women after surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) without bowel involvement and to evaluate the predictive factors of LB after DIE surgery without bowel involvement. …

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis affects 10% of women in reproductive age and alters fertility. Its management is still debated notably the timing of surgery and ART in infertility. Several tools have been created to guide the practitioner and the …

OBJECTIVE: To compare the impact of first-line assisted reproductive technology (ART; intracytoplasmic sperm injection [ICSI]-IVF) and first-line colorectal surgery followed by ART on fertility outcomes in women with colorectal endometriosi…

Deep infiltrating endometriosis is the most severe form of the disease, defined by infiltration beneath the peritoneum greater than 5mm. It affects several anatomical locations including the bladder, the vesico-uterine cul-de-sac, the torus…

BACKGROUND: Blood coagulation plays a crucial role in the blastocyst implantation process and its alteration may be related to in vitro fertilization (IVF) failure. We conducted a prospective observational longitudinal study in women eligib…

Endometriosis is a common condition, causing pain and infertility. In infertile woman with superficial peritoneal endometriosis and patent tubes, laparoscopy is recommended, followed by ovarian stimulation alone or in combination with intra…

BACKGROUND: There is no consensual definition of diminished ovarian reserve and the best therapeutic strategy has not yet been demonstrated. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study to evaluate outcomes following a first in-vitro fertil…

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) affects several anatomical locations including the bladder, torus uterinum, uterosacral ligament, rectovaginal septum and bowel. It is the most debilitating form of endometriosis and causes severe pain,…

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the impact of the association of endometrioma with or without deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) after a first intra cytoplasmic sperm injection- in vitro fertilization (ICSI-IVF) cycle on pregnancy rate. MATERIA…

BACKGROUND: There is currently no consensus about indications for surgery for infertility associated with colorectal endometriosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate cumulative pregnancy rates (CPRs) after ICSI-IVF cycles in patients wi…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cumulative pregnancy rate (CPR) per patient after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) cycles in patients with endometriomas and to evaluate the determinant factors of CPR per patient…

BACKGROUND: Although several scoring systems have been published to evaluate the pregnancy rate after ICSI-IVF in infertile patients, none of them are applicable for patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) nor can they evaluate …

This retrospective study of women undergoing IVF (29 with colorectal endometriosis, 157 with tubal factor infertility, and 340 with male factor infertility) found similar fertility outcomes between the groups.
