Filter by:During ovarian stimulation, all the follicles grow under the action of FSH, only the selected follicles and with the faster growth are taken. However during this stimulation, other smaller follicles are also recruited and sensitized, which may increase the selection of follicles available on the follicular wave following. In patients with weak reserve this potentiation has a great interest, and the sequence of 2 stimulations on the same cycle could make it possible to obtain a larger number of oocytes and embryos, thus giving a better chance of delivery than on 2 distinct cycles of stimulation. However, this is preliminary data that needs to be confirmed with a randomized controlled trial. In this population of poor prognosis, the use of FSH-associated LH activity may optimize the ovarian response to stimulation, particularly the combination containing placental HCG (Fertistartkit®) that obtaining a slightly higher number of oocytes than highly purified HMG (Menopur®).
The purpose of this multicenter study is to compare the ovarian reserve after alcohol sclerosis of the endometriomas against conventional surgery (AMH, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and antral follicles count) as well as the complications and costs between the 2 procedures.
This study proposes to evaluate the effect of adding HP-hMG (Menopur) to follitropin delta in a "mixed protocol" regimen, using an individualized, fixed dose of follitropin delta based on the established algorithm, combined with a variable, adjustable dose of Menopur based on body weight and ovarian reserve.
Reduced ovarian reserve and the consequent poor ovarian response are very recurent in infertile patients, indeed a percentage of 10%-24% of couples addressed to infertility program may be classified as Poor Ovarian Responder (POR). Objective: To evaluate whether the repeated luteal phase stimulation (Second Step) permits a significantly higher number of oocytes retrieved in POR when compared to conventional follicular stimulation. Interventions: The follicular phase stimulation is conduced according to a standardized Antagonist protocol or Short protocol (with GnRH agonist) using recombinant or urinary gonadotropins (starting dose 300 or 450 UI) or a long lasting recombinant gonadotropin (Corifollitropin alfa 150 mcg). Two - six days after the first oocyte retrieval a second gonadotropin stimulation will be started with a GnRH antagonist protocol (the stimulation will be started with 250 UI of human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) and a GnRH antagonist (GnRH-an) 0,25 mg\die will be administered when the leading follicle is ≥ 14 mm until hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) criteria are met. When at least two follicles had reached 17-18 mm in diameter, ovulation will be triggered with a single subcutaneous bolus of urinary human chorionic gonadotropin (10.000 UI ) and oocyte retrieval will be performed after 35 hours. Two or Three months after the second oocyte retrieval the Embryo transfer (ET) will be performed after endometrial preparation with Estradiol Valerate and intramuscular Progesterone.
The meta-analysis comparing the cryopreservation of human embryos by vitrification or slow-freezing suggested that more well design studies as randomized trials are necessary to identify the most successful method for cryopreservation. The efficacy of the vitrification with the GAVI system will be compared with the conventional slow freezing method through a randomized control trial. Couples in IVF attempt will be randomized at the day of embryo cryopreservation by the biologist. Supernumerary frozen embryos will be thawed and transferred in utero in case of failure of the "fresh" embryo transfer. The outcomes of the thawing and frozen/thawed embryo transfer will be assessed. In the two groups, the patients will benefit of the standard IVF procedures applied in the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) center of Toulouse.
The study is a randomized controlled trial of a cognitive behavioral interventions and an art-based stress reduction treatment protocol (CB-ART) with 100 women, identified with elevated perceived stress, before undergoing IVF treatment; in order to examine its effect on perceived stress, plasma CFD, telomere length and pregnancy rates. CB-ART is a 6-session treatment protocol that has been utilized with women coping with stress, depression and pain and is effective in reducing these indicators, developed and evaluated by our research team. The treatment protocol emphasizes processing together with the client's recalled image, symptom or memory (ISM) pertaining to a current distressing mental or physical state. CB-ART is a multi-method model that integrates cognitive behavioral interventions and art-based stress reduction interventions. The innovation in this method is the transformation of imagined and drawn images and memories rather than solely verbally discussing their contents. The focus is on changing compositional elements that comprise each image and memory, thus providing a therapeutic venue to reframe and transform stress producing, recalled images and memories and reduce symptoms of perceived stress. Art making is beneficial for eliciting an emotional response and provides a concrete platform to conduct the cognitive processing that initiate change on the paper and then in the mind. Furthermore, the soothing qualities of interacting with art making foster and enhance behavioral relaxation techniques. Our study population, women with infertility problems, who are designated to undergo IVF treatment and have been identified to have elevated perceived stress scores on the Perceived Stress Scale (above 15) will be randomized and allocated to receive the CB-ART intervention tailored to reduce stress or treatment as usual.
The main objective of this study is to analyze management of Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (COS) protocols in low prognosis patients, secondly to observe the clinical outcomes (Fertilization Rate, Pregnancy Rate, the Ongoing Pregnancy Rate and the Live birth Rate) and the total units of gonadotrophins consume per M2 oocyte retrieved in this subgroup.
ECCO consensus, the fertility would decline in activity inflammatory bowel disease(IBD), because of anus lesions and pelvic abscess, or who underwent surgery, especially in patients with ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) storage.The study on fertility in inflammatory bowel disease were almost epidemiological investigation, the lack of objective evaluation of fertility, and controversial.This study will explore the fertility, ovarian reserve function and the pregnancy outcomes in patients with IBD.
The aim of the study is to examine the value of the new MRI techniques (spectroscopy and DWI), and FDG-PET in prognostication of male infertility.
In vitro fertilization(IVF) with Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist is one of the most used protocol for the treatment of infertile couples nowadays. Despite several advantages over GnRH agonist, the antagonist may be associated with a slightly reduction in pregnancy rates. Several medications have been tested in order to increase ovarian response to ovulation induction, including estradiol and testosterone. A clinical trial in women with IVF indication will be performed and this women will be randomly assigned to receive topic testosterone, oral estradiol or no pre-treatment prior to IVF with human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hMG) and GnRH antagonist. The primary endpoint will be the size and number of follicles on the beginning of the cycle, after pre-treatment.
