Endometriosis is a common condition in women of reproductive age. In addition to pain, endometriosis may also reduce fertility. The causes of infertility in women with endometriosis may range from anatomical distortions due to adhesions and…
BackgroundThe most common genetic variant of luteinizing hormone (LH), variant-betaLH, has a different bioactivity than the wildtype. Carrying the variant allele was associated with an increased consumption of exogenous gonadotropin to achi…
STUDY QUESTION: Do endometriomas induce an inflammatory reaction with increased cytokine concentrations in nearby follicles and thereby affect follicular development during controlled ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF)? SU…
ObjectiveTo assess success rates of IVF and intracytoplasmic sperm injection in women with various stages of endometriosis.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingReproductive medicine unit in a university hospital.Patient(s)Infertile women…
Surgical eradication of minimal and mild endometriosis has been shown to increase the birth rate both spontaneously and after intrauterine insemination. This study from a reproductive medicine unit at a referral university hospital examined…
PURPOSE: To investigate possible differences between unexplained and stage I endometriosis-associated infertility in ICSI cycles conducted after low fertilization (<20%) in preceding IVF cycles with normal semen parameters. METHODS: Retros…
BACKGROUND: This study was undertaken in order to compare pregnancy outcome after IVF and ICSI in unexplained and endometriosis-associated infertility using tubal factor infertility as controls. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort stud…
PurposePatient and cycle characteristics of day 3 transfers with developmentally lagging 4-cell embryos only were analyzed and related to the outcome of a live birth.MethodsDay 3 transfers with either 4-cell embryos only (study group; n = 1…
BACKGROUND: To elucidate possible differences between unexplained and minimal peritoneal endometriosis-associated infertility, we studied their outcome in natural cycle IVF (NIVF). METHODS: A prospective cohort study was carried out on unex…
PurposeTo determine whether there was any difference in the outcome of in vitro fertilization when retrieval of oocytes was done 34 hr (group A) or 38 hr (group B) after hCG injection.MethodsA total of 170 patients with tubal failure were r…
PurposeThe objective was to evaluate whether extending the embryo culture period from 2 to 3 days would yield a more optimal selection of viable embryos, thereby increasing the implantation and live birth rates.MethodsPatients undergoing in…
There have been numerous inconclusive studies examining the differences between unexplained and peritoneal endometriosis-associated infertility. Hence, the choice of artificial reproductive technique may be difficult. This prospective study…
BACKGROUND: To compare the outcome of in vitro fertilization/embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in unexplained infertility and infertility associated with minimal peritoneal endometriosis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis comparing results of stimul…
This review focuses on the theoretical backgrounds for tubal gamete and zygote/embryo transfer, as well as the clinical results of gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), which are compared with other non-fertilization procedures in infertil…
OBJECTIVE: To test the ovarian reserve in a high-risk population before controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF). DESIGN: A prospective study comparing the outcome of a clomiphene citrate (CC) challenge test to …
The purpose of this study was to report the success rate of the first IVF treatment in 161 patients who attended our department in 1988. The indications for IVF were tubal damage in 84 couples (52.1%), unexplained infertility and endometrio…
A comparison of the relative efficacy of in-vitro fertilization with uterine embryo transfer (IVF), tubal embryo stage transfer (TEST) and gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) was performed in infertile patients with patent Fallopian tube…
Two patients with long-lasting infertility associated with moderate and severe symptomatic endometriosis were treated with long-term GnRH-agonist suppression of ovarian function. Both patients were relieved of their endometriosis-related ab…
