IntroductionSeveral studies indicate that a specific genotype profile could influence ovarian sensitivity to exogenous gonadotropin. However, most of the previous studies were observational and retrospective and thereby more prone to bias. …

Endometriosis and autoimmune diseases share a hyper-inflammatory state that might negatively impact the embryo-endometrium crosstalk. Inflammatory and immune deregulatory mechanisms have been shown to impair both endometrial receptivity and…

PurposeTo evaluate the association between progesterone (P) level on the day of trigger and time to blastulation in IVF cycles.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study with autologous IVF cycles performed at our Institution from January…

PurposeTo evaluate the association between serum progesterone (P) at the day of ovulation trigger and neonatal birthweight in singletons born after frozen-thawed embryo transfer in segmented ART cycles.MethodsA retrospective multicenter coh…

Pathogenesis of endometriosis is still unclear and a role of both innate and adaptive immune system has been postulated. Some recent findings have revealed an increased risk to have concomitant autoimmune disease in women with endometriosis…
