BACKGROUND: In assisted reproductive technology, preventing premature ovulation is crucial for achieving successful pregnancy outcomes. The traditional GnRH antagonist protocol is commonly used to suppress the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge…
PURPOSE: To investigate possible differences in cumulative live birth rates (CLBRs) among three progestins medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), dydrogesterone (DYG), and Progesterone within the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) prot…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination on frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) outcomes. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study enrolled 1,210 patients undergoing FET cycles in …
BACKGROUND: ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) leads to a reduced male-to-female ratio at birth, whereas blastocyst transfer results in an increased male-to-female ratio. However, limited knowledge exists regarding the impact of these …
BACKGROUND: To explore the effect of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) on neonatal outcomes among singletons born after frozen embryo transfer (FET). METHODS: This large retrospective cohort study included 18,683 singleton infants born a…
OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to evaluate pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in women, with a previous history of wedge resection for interstitial pregnancy, in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles of IVF/ICSI. METHODS: The present…
BACKGROUND: Unsubstantiated concerns have been raised on the potential correlation between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination and infertility, leading to vaccine hesitancy in reproductive-aged populatio…
PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 2185 patients undergoing fresh IVF cycles from June 1st to Se…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the association of endometrial thickness (EMT) with obstetric and neonatal outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: A total of 1755 subfertile PCOS women with singleton livebirths after frozen-…
BACKGROUND: Decreased endometrial thickness (EMT) has been suggested to be associated with reduced birthweight of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) newborns. Considering the differences in ovarian stimulatio…
BACKGROUND: Peak endometrial thickness (EMT), measured on the end of follicular phase or early luteal phase, is the most widely used marker for endometrial receptivity during infertility treatment. However, the clinical significance of foll…
Background: The ability of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) to predict ovarian response has been studied extensively in gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and antagonist treatments, but no information is available regarding its value in pro…
PURPOSE: Dydrogesterone (DYG) has been demonstrated to be an alternative progestin in the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol with comparable oocyte retrieval and pregnancy outcomes. However, its safety regarding neonatal o…
OBJECTIVE: Frozen-thawed embryo transfer enables surplus embryos derived from IVF or IVF-ICSI treatment to be stored and transferred in subsequent cycles into a more "physiologic environment". This study aimed to investigate the clinical ef…
PURPOSE: Dydrogesterone (DYG) is an alternative progestin in progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol with weaker pituitary suppression than medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in normal ovulatory women. However, the endocrinologi…
BACKGROUND: Non-elective freeze-all policy has been increasingly utilized in assisted reproductive treatment, but the optimal timing of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) after controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) remains to be investigate…
