PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Progesterone plays a pivotal role in implantation and ongoing pregnancy. In the context of assisted reproductive technology (ART), and in particular frozen embryo transfer (FET), increasing evidence suggests that serum pr…

PURPOSE: Alongside being contraceptives, progestins have been investigated as potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic therapies for use in painful gynaecological conditions. This review aims to synthesise evidence pertaining to the effica…

Adenomyosis is an important clinical condition with uncertain prevalence, and clinical focus on adenomyosis in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) has increased during recent years. Recognizing the limited clinical kn…

Abstract Study question Does subcutaneous (SC) progesterone treatment provide progesterone levels comparable to intramuscular (IM) progesterone when using a cut-off level of 118nmol/l(37.1ng/ml) during intensive luteal phase support? Summar…

BACKGROUND: Currently, there is no consensus on the optimal management of women with low prognosis in ART. In this Delphi consensus, a panel of international experts provided real-world clinical perspectives on a series of literature-suppor…

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are distinct clinical conditions that carry the same pathophysiological features. In recent years the clinical focus on assisted reproductive technology patients with either condition (E/A) has increased, in th…

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), together with luteinizing hormone (LH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), plays a fundamental role in human reproduction. The discovery of FSH and other gonadotropins was a defining moment in our und…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the optimal serum progesterone cut-off level in patients with endometriosis undergoing hormone replacement therapy frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) with intensive progesterone luteal phase support? DESIGN: A cohor…

Abstract Study question What is the optimal serum progesterone (P4) cut-off level for endometriosis patients undergoing hormone replacement therapy frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) with intensive exogenous progesterone luteal phase support?…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to explore the optimal range of the total progressive motile sperm count (TPMSC) for live birth in couples with varying infertility diagnosis undergoing intrauterine inseminati…

Over the years concerns have arisen about possible adverse effects associated with controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) as regards not only the endometrium, but also on obstetrical and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies after fresh embryo tr…

We report a case in which a patient received IVF treatment due to massive pelvic endometriosis. The tubal patency and sperm parameters were normal. After e-SET (elective single embryo transfer) ultrasonography showed a triplet pregnancy wit…
