ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of the Er Zhi Tian Gui Formula (EZTGF) in diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET); to examine the pharmacological mechanism of EZTGF in inhibi…

PurposeThis study aimed to compare the efficacy of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and dual-trigger (gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist [GnRH-a] and hCG) protocols in terms of cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) and other pregnancy out…

IntroductionOptimal luteal phase support (LPS) is essential for successful embryo transfer. In our previous study, we found that LPS combined with Gushen Antai pill (GSATP) could significantly improve ongoing pregnancy rate (OPR) and reduce…

IntroductionEffective ovarian stimulation and luteal phase support (LPS) are key factors for the success of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) The present multicenter randomized trial evaluates whether adding Gushen Antai P…

BackgroundManaging infertility patients with poor ovarian response (POR) to ovarian stimulation remains unmet clinically. Besides economic burdens, patients with POR have a poor prognosis during in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (I…

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of Follitropin alpha (Gonal-F) and Follitropin beta (Puregon) on cumulative live birth rate (CLBR), defined as the percentage of the number of patients who delivered for the first…

BackgroundSeveral studies have compared the effects of fixed and flexible gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocols during in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). However, which GnRH-ant initiation strategy…

BackgroundThe blastocyst-stage embryo has been considered more advantageous for increasing the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) at fresh embryo transfer (ET) compared to the cleavage-stage embryo. However, it remains uncertain whether this…

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether dual trigger could improve reproductive outcomes in women with low oocyte maturation rates compare to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger.MethodsThis study included expected normal ovarian responders youn…

IntroductionWomen characterised by diminished ovarian reserve are considered to have poor ovarian response (POR) according to Patient-Oriented Strategies Encompassing IndividualizeD Oocyte Number (POSEIDON) criteria. Patients in this popula…

BackgroundGonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists (GnRH-ant) are widely used in current in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), however, whether the lowest daily dose of GnRH-ant is individualized remains unknown. Due to the neg…

IntroductionThe relationships between the outcome of frozen-thaw embryo transfer (FET) cycle and endometrial compaction were not quite consistent.ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between the outcome of FET cycle and endometrial compacti…

BackgroundExposure of the female reproductive tract to either seminal plasma or fluid component of the ejaculate is beneficial to achieving successful embryo implantation and normal embryo development. But whether the "physical" component o…

ObjectiveTo study the effect of Guilu Erxian ointment on the outcome of IVF-ET in older patients with poor ovarian response infertility of kidney-qi deficiency type, and to verify and analyze the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese m…

Study questionIn a modified natural cycle frozen-thawed embryo transfer (mNC-FET), does the premature timing of progesterone luteal phase support (LPS) initiation 24 h following human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger impact live birth?S…

BackgroundThe objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of acupuncture on the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in elderly infertile patients with kidney qi deficiency, and to explore its possible mechanism from the perspe…

IntroductionAdvanced age is one of the primary risk factors for infertility. Poor ovarian response (POR) to exogenous gonadotropin is a prominent characteristic of advanced-age women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IV…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of - Xiaoyi Yusi decoction (XYYSD, ), a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), on fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with endometriosis, and to study the mechanism underpinning the actio…

BackgroundRecurrent implantation failure (RIF) in the majority of patients undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is caused by various factors such as maternal age, embryo quality, endometrial receptivity (ER), and i…

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of acupoint application on the outcome of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) of the phlegm-dampness type and elucidate its possible mecha…

IntroductionThe choice of trigger drug for the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocol correlates with the outcome of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET). The co-administration of…

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to determine whether intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is beneficial in patients with non-male factor infertility.MethodsThis systematic review and meta-analysis included articles from inception t…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) leads to a decline in fertility, which is characterized by a decrease in the number and quality of follicles, and thus has a negative impact on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. However, the mechanism of …

Research questionWhat influence does seven days of oestrogen administration versus fourteen days have on the reproductive outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in programmed endometrial preparation cycles?DesignIn a retrospective …

ObjectiveThe principal purpose of this study was to compare reproductive outcomes for stimulated cycles (STC) and hormone replacement cycles (HRC) for endometrial preparation before frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in young women with po…
