Concerns with sexual health and fertility are common among cancer patients, survivors and their partners. Literature reviews suggest that over 60% of survivors have reproductive health problems yet fewer than 20% get professional help. This study will test the uptake, use and effectiveness of online, interactive self-help programs for men and women with cancer. Participants in the study will receive up to 6 months of access to the self-help programs without charge. Navigation through the programs can be personalized by setting goals and following links to the most relevant information. The programs cover all cancer sites and common treatments, explaining sexual and fertility side effects. Programs also include step-by-step cognitive behavioral self-help exercises, guidance on available medical treatment options, decision aids, and video stories with actual survivors as well as vignettes with actors. Information for same-sex couples is included. Programs include suggestions on how partners can work together to cope with sexual or fertility issues. The primary hypothesis is that participants will report improvements in sexual function and satisfaction from baseline to 3-month follow-up. Secondary hypotheses will investigate whether more extensive use of the program is associated with better outcomes (dose-response effect) and whether the intervention also improves secondary outcomes such as anxiety, depression, relationship satisfaction, and seeking medical help. Analyses from the data will investigate how many people who are informed of the study decide to participate (uptake), as well as how often participants visit the program and which parts are used most. Both the male and female programs have previously been shown to help cancer survivors and partners in published clinical trials. Participants will be encouraged to invite a sexual partner to join the study, but that will be optional. Partners will be able to be linked for statistical analysis through their unique study identification numbers. Participants' use of the websites will be electronically tracked and compared with questionnaire outcome measures. Outcome measures include online, self-report questionnaires completed at baseline and 3-month follow-up. At 6-month follow-up, participants will complete 2 online ratings of the helpfulness of the programs. Privacy and security are carefully protected. The entire website meets standards for HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Questionnaires are identified with study numbers rather than names or email addresses. Once the study data are analyzed, the list linking participant identifying information (names, email) and study numbers will be destroyed. Any publications resulting from the study will discuss group data and will not contain any information that could be used to identify an individual participant.
Research results suggest changes of physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiration, skin conductance response, sleep duration, sleep quality and skin perfusion during the menstrual cycle. Latest fitness trackers allow to conveniently and non-invasively record these parameters. The present study aims to evaluate whether there is a correlation between physiological parameters and the menstrual cycle i.e. ovulation as measured by a urine ovulation test and the onset of menses. To collect data women will wear two smartwatches and a smartshirt at night. All three devices are CE-approved for sports and fitness.
Analyze the effect of preincubation time of oocyte on the results of ICSI in a oocyte donation model.
The purpose of this study is to help us determine how hormones impact the production of cervical mucus which is a fluid secreted by the opening of the uterus, also called the cervix. During a normal menstrual cycle, cervical mucus changes in response to two hormones that the ovaries make: estrogen and progesterone. Many of the birth control methods women use thicken mucus and make it less likely for sperm to enter the uterus. The goal of this study is to better understand the effects estrogen and progesterone have on the cervical mucus in the body. To do this, the investigators will be using a drug that suppresses natural hormone production for 3 months. Estrogen and progesterone will be artificially replaced to better understand their effects. The investigators will also be studying the effect of a common birth control pill that may work by thickening cervical mucus. Last, the investigators will study some of the cells in the cervix that produce mucus.
To evaluate the attitude of pre menopausal women with breast cancer faced with the risk of loss of fertility caused by chemotherapy using EORTC's Fertility Questionnaire.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the MIRI-TL time-lapse incubator and CultureCoin dish compared to standard big-box incubators and standard culture dishes used for embryo culture.
Embryo freezing is a technique used regularly to optimize the pregnancy rate in case of infertility. This method is performed in presence of supernumerary embryo(s) after fresh transfer, or after freeze all embryos in case of medical reasons. It is necessary to control that the transfer is performed when the endometrium is receptive, which is essential for embryo implantation and pregnancy. This period is defined as the "implantation window". Endometrial preparation can be achieved by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or moderate ovarian stimulation (SO). The implantation window can also be assessed by monitoring of a natural cycle (NC). The objectives of this open randomized study is to compare the number of visits (ultrasound and blood tests) induced by the SO or NC as well as the women quality of life in both groups.
This study looks at the experiences of teenagers and young adults who have been offered ovarian tissue cryopreservation prior to cancer treatment as a result of their cancer and/or cancer treatment putting them at moderate-to-high risk of premature ovarian failure.
This study is the first to investigate the fertility outcome and the influence on ovarian reserve after using uterine artery embolization during cesarean delivery.
