Total Cortisol Levels are Reduced in the Periovulatory Follicle of Infertile Women with Minimal–Mild Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1034/j.1600-0897.2002.1o122.x

article 2001
Low-dose dexamethasone augments the ovarian response to exogenous gonadotrophins leading to a reduction in cycle cancellation rate in a standard IVF programme
·doi:10.1093/humrep/16.9.1861

BACKGROUND: Cancellation of assisted conception cycles because of poor ovarian response to gonadotrophins is a significant problem in assisted reproduction. Various adjuvant treatments have been suggested to improve responsiveness. This stu…

FEMALE INFERTILITY
Endocrinology and metabolism clinics of North America ·doi:10.1016/s0889-8529(05)70044-x

This article has provided outcome-based evidence using easily understood graphic representation of cumulative pregnancy rates whenever possible for the methods used to investigate and treat female infertility. A scheme of basic routine inve…

Onset of the preovulatory luteinizing hormone surge: diurnal timing and critical follicular prerequisites
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(98)00113-7

ObjectiveTo determine the diurnal variation in the onset of the preovulatory LH surge in women.DesignProspective open cohort study.SettingUniversity hospital research program.Patient(s)Thirty-five women with infertility resulting from tubal…

article 1997
Ovarian Dysfunction in Endometriosis-Associated and Unexplained Infertility
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1023/a:1022568331845

PurposeThe impact of endometriosis and unexplained infertility on follicular function and fertilization of oocytes in cycles totally unperturbed by exogenous gonadotrophins, when compared with controls with tubal damage, were examined.Metho…

article 1997
P-157. The contribution of subtle oocyte or sperm dysfunction to endometriosis-associated and unexplained infertility
·doi:10.1093/humrep/12.suppl_2.194-a

Abstracts of the 13th Annual Meeting of the ESHRE, Edinburgh 1997 use of dexfenfluramine. Prospective participants were required to complete a symptom score sheet for 2 months; if this confirmed the diagnosis of PMS then they were recruited…

R-198. Impaired oocyte fertilizing ability in endometriosis: a study in unstimulated cycles
·doi:10.1093/humrep/12.suppl_2.321
article 1996
Effect of progestogen therapy on follicular development, related hormone concentrations and fertilization in vitro in unstimulated cycles and unexplained and endometriosis-associated infertility
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/11.3.647

Evidence of pituitary-ovarian dysfunction in unexplained and endometriosis-associated infertility has been reported previously. Hormone-suppressive therapy is often used in an attempt to improve fertility, although benefits have not been pr…

article 1996
Reduced preovulatory granulosa cell steroidogenesis in women with endometriosis.
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.81.1.8550788

To examine the cause of altered follicular fluid steroid levels and lower in vitro fertilization rate observed in infertile women with minor endometriosis, we have compared the production of estradiol (aromatase activity) and progesterone o…

article 1995
Pituitary—ovarian dysfunction as a cause for endometriosis-associated and unexplained infertility*
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/oxfordjournals.humrep.a135876

This study examines circulating and follicular hormone concentrations and fertilization of oocytes in cycles totally unperturbed by exogenous gonadotrophins in 10 women (25 cycles) with untreated minimal-mild endometriosis and nine women (2…

review 1993
1 Is endometriosis a disease?
Bailliere's clinical obstetrics and gynaecology ·doi:10.1016/s0950-3552(05)80457-2

Recent comparative studies and developments in our understanding of the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of endometriosis have led to increasing doubts about whether it should always be considered a disease. Widespread use of laparoscopy fo…

ENDOMETRIOSIS AND IVF: EFFECT OF PRIOR THERAPY
Lancet (London, England) ·doi:10.1016/s0140-6736(86)90815-9

ENDOMETRIOSIS AND OVULATORY DISORDER: REDUCED FERTILISATION IN VITRO COMPARED WITH TUBAL AND UNEXPLAINED INFERTILITY
Lancet (London, England) ·doi:10.1016/s0140-6736(85)90289-2

In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) was carried out once for each of 104 couples who had a single cause of infertility. The group with tubal damage was used as the reference for normal fertilising capacity of both oocytes and sperms: the IVF rates…

article 1985
Population study of causes, treatment, and outcome of infertility.
British medical journal (Clinical research ed.) ·doi:10.1136/bmj.291.6510.1693

Specialist infertility practice was studied in a group of 708 couples within a population of residents of a single health district in England. They represented an annual incidence of 1.2 couples for every 1000 of the population. At least on…
