BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure poses a significant challenge in assisted reproductive technology despite the transfer of high-quality embryos over multiple cycles. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes be…

BACKGROUND: Women with low ovarian reserve are the capable part of people who refer to infertility centers, this study compares 2 treatment protocols in cases with low ovarian reserve. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of…

PURPOSE: The selection of high-quality spermatozoa affects embryo quality and, consequently, the success rates of clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a cumulus cell-based sperm selection method for identifying hi…

BACKGROUND: Assisted reproductive technology (ART), offers hope for many infertile couples by increasing the chance of successful pregnancy. The success of in vitro fertilization depends on various factors, in which embryo transfer (ET) is …

Background: The best ovarian stimulation protocol in the case of endometrioma-related infertility is still debated. In this study, we examined the effect of two ovarian stimulation protocols on in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intra-cytoplasmic…

BackgroundThe implantation rate after assisted reproductive technology depends on 2 important factors, good quality embryo and endometrial receptivity. Endometrial receptivity is mainly assessed by ultrasound measurement of endometrial thic…

BACKGROUND: Luteal phase deficiency is common in assisted reproductive technology and is characterized by inadequate progesterone production. Various studies have shown that administration of progesterone in fresh embryo transfer cycles inc…

BackgroundThe miscarriage rate after pregnancy resulting from assisted reproductive technology (ART) is about 20%, roughly half of which is biochemical. The correlations between the number and quality of oocytes, estradiol level and early p…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the potential link between serum LH concentrations on the day of oocyte triggering and pregnancy outcome during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective cross-sectional study,…

BACKGROUND: The standard procedure for ovarian endometriosis is laparoscopic excision of ovarian cysts and complete removal of the cyst capsule using the striping technique. Owing to the possibility of reducing ovarian reserve, and in some …

BACKGROUND: Poor ovarian response management is a complex and controversial issue in the field of reproductive medicine. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to apply double stimulation in the same cycle in unexpected poor responders in PO…

BACKGROUND: Aromatase inhibitors prevent the aromatization of androgens into estrogens, which reduces the negative feedback of estrogen on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. It is clear that increasing the secretion of follicle-stimulating ho…

BACKGROUND: Using blood-based biomarkers such as microRNAs (miRNAs) may allow particularly effective and minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. Objective: We evaluated the differential expression of circulating miRNA-1…

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the serum vitamin D level in a retrospective study in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), according to the different phenotypes of the disease. Subjects and methods In this retrospectiv…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial receptivity is one of the important factors in assisted reproductive technology (ART) success. In the luteal phase of an ART cycle, serum estradiol (E2) and progesterone are often placed in low levels. Supporting the…

BACKGROUND: Asherman's syndrome (AS) is a rare reproductive abnormality, resulting in endometrial collapse due to aggressive or recurrent endometritis and/or curettage. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the effectiveness of using platelet-rich…

BACKGROUND: In vitro fertilization is an important therapy for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The use of new ways of improving clinical results is yet required. OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed to investigate the efficacy of…

BACKGROUND: Embryo transfer (ET) is the last and the most clinical process in assisted reproductive technology cycle. It has been suggested that cervical mucus interacts with an adequate embryo transfer in different ways. A few studies show…

As new research reveals, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) plays an effective role in pregnancy success, considering that it not only affects the embryo implantation and ovarian function but also it promotes endometrial thickeni…

Thin endometrium is identified to adversely affect reproductive success rates after assisted reproductive technology (ART). Several treatment modalities have been presented to patients with thin endometrium, to improve endometrial thickness…

BACKGROUND: Despite major advances in assisted reproductive techniques, the implantation rates remain relatively low. Some studies have demonstrated that intrauterine infusion of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) improves implan…

Background: Despite major advances in assisted reproductive techniques, the implantation rates remain relatively low. Some studies have demonstrated that intrauterine infusion of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) improves implan…

BACKGROUND: Recently the laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) has been used as a surgical treatment for ovulation in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), although its mechanism and outcomes are still unclear. This study was underta…

BACKGROUND: Although pregnancy rate in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles has been increased over the preceding years, but the majority of IVF-ET cycles still fail. Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF) is a glyco…
