Filter by:This study will assess the predictive potential of circulating placental biomarkers for spontaneous miscarriage within the following month in an IVF setting. It is hypothesized that a robust algorithm including one or more of these biomarkers may allow for the accurate same-day distinction between women with a low and high risk of a spontaneous miscarriage.
To evaluate the effects of a new nutraceutical formulation containing resveratrol (trademark GENANTE) on gamete quality in order to improve the reproductive process during ART.
Ten to 15 percent of couples in their reproductive lifetime face fertility problems which is defined by WHO as the absence of pregnancy after minimal 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. The three most frequent causes of subfertility are: sperm defects, ovulation disorders and tubal pathology. In order to exclude tubal pathology, tubal patency tests are performed under ultrasound guidance with foam (hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (Hyfosy)) or with contrast/water (hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (Hycosy)). This trial will investigate whether tubal flushing with an oil-soluble contrast medium (OSCM) can increase the likelihood of a spontaneous conception after tubal patency testing with Hyfosy under ultrasound guidance compared to no additional flushing in a population of infertile women between 18 and 40 years of age with absence of pregnancy after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse or who have three cycles of donor insemination without pregnancy or three ovulatory ovulation induction cycles without pregnancy. The use of Lipiodol Ultra Fluide® is off-label in Hyfosy. This multicenter, randomised, open-label, comparative and pragmatic trial compares 2 arms which will be randomised 1:1: - Intervention group: Tubal flush with 5-10mL oil-soluble contrast medium (Lipiodol Ultra Fluide®, Guerbet, France) immediately after Hyfosy - Control group: No additional intervention after Hyfosy The study comprises a screening period of maximum 8 weeks (w-8 to d1), randomisation (w-8 to d1), a start study visit at which the Hyfosy is performed (d1) and a fertility treatment period of 6 months (d1-w26). If the woman is not pregnant at 6 months after Hyfosy, the follow-up will last till 12 months (w52). If the participant is pregnant at 6 months after Hyfosy, the follow-up will last till maximal 4 months after live birth or miscarriage. The primary endpoint is the occurrence of live birth, with the first day of the last menstrual cycle in which the patient conceives within 6 months after Hyfosy. Secondary endpoints consist of reproductive outcomes, gestational age at delivery, birth weight, neonatal mortality, major congenital anomaly, neonatal outcomes and thyroid function, pregnancy complications, number of complications during or immediately after the intervention, pain score of the Hyfosy and additional flush, thyroid function of the mother, general and disease-specific quality of life.
Women suffering from endometriosis and/or adenomyosis may also suffer from infertility. GnRH agonist injection could improve implantation and therefore increase the pregnancy rate in these patients. This study was designed to evaluate effects of the additional of GnRH agonist (single or 2 doses) to the routine oestrogens and progestins use as support before Frozen Embryon Transfer as compared to oestrogens and progestins only.
Comparing two ovarian induction protocols in poor responders in IVF/ICSI cycles
Weight loss and lifestyle modifications are much required in women with Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Yoga has gained great importance as an alternate medicine in recent years which is helpful in lifestyle modifications. Weight loss can be achieved by regular aerobic activity. In recent years, excessive production of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) has been considered as the etiology of PCOS. AMH is also emerging as a diagnostic and screening tool for PCOS. Effect of yoga therapy on adolescent girls have proved to be effective. But, researches on young women undergoing yoga therapy and combined effect of aerobic exercise and yoga therapy are still lacking. Hence, the investigators aimed t o establish the benefits of yoga therapy and aerobic exercise on Anti-Mullerian Hormone and other biochemical markers in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate whether a decrease in endometrial thickness (compaction) prior to progesterone exposure (endogenous or exogenous) to the day before a single frozen embryo transfer has an impact on the clinical pregnancy rate with euploid embryos in exogenous hormone and modified natural thaw cycles. Information derived from this study may give insight on ways to improve pregnancy rates in cryo-thaw cycles.
Absolut uterine factor, meaning the absence of uterus, represents a cause for sterility without the possibility of a present treatment. The uterine factor affects millions of women and may be due to congenital problems, such as the Muller anomalies (Mayer Rockitansky Syndrome) or acquired by previous hysterectomy or intrauterine adhesions (Asherman's Syndrome). The uterine transplant would represent the only possibility for patients with an absolute uterine factor to achieve both genetic and gestational maternity.
Obesity and overweight are among the problems that produce infertility. The combination of diet and exercise to achieve weight loss are currently considered an effective intervention for the improvement of reproductive parameters in overweight or obese infertile women. Aim: to evaluate the effectiveness of an online program to promote a healthy lifestyle among women who are overweight or obese who also have a diagnosis of infertility and are on the waiting list for in vitro fertilisation treatment
This research study is about the effects of diet and exercise in women undergoing fertility treatment.
