Research suggests that gonadotropin stimulation in in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment affects embryo quality and the endometrium that might influence embryo implantation, placentation and establishment of a viable pregnancy. We assessed…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does antioestrogen effect of clomiphene citrate (CC) on the endometrium reduce implantation and thereby decrease pregnancy and live birth rate per transferred embryo? METHODS: In this cohort, unstimulated IVF cycles modi…

Abstract Study question How many embryo transfers are needed to achieve the first live birth in women with endometriosis depending on disease localisation? Summary answer The number of transfers needed to achieve live birth in women with en…

ProblemRepeated implantation failure and recurrent pregnancy loss are associated with chronic endometritis, a persistent endometrial inflammation. Its diagnosis and treatment may increase pregnancy and live birth rates. The aim of this stud…

AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim was to analyse if ibuprofen, as a non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, has any negative effect on oocyte competence and embryo quality. COX- inhibitors are popular over-the-counter analgesics. Whereas sele…

INTRODUCTION: Reproductive scientists have postulated various risk factors for lower birthweight following conventional gonadotropin-stimulated in vitro fertilization compared with spontaneously conceived children: parental factors (age, he…

Introduction: Does the endometrial thickness (EMT) at the time of follicle aspiration correlate with the pregnancy rate in unstimulated menstrual cycles? Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective, observational single center study.105 …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of miscarriage in women with endometriosis (WwE) compared with disease-free control women (CW). DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis nested in a retrospective observational study (n = 940). SETTING: Ho…
