Filter by:The purpose of this study is to offer an alternative method to women who wish to preserve the possibility of fertility, as well as to learn more about the ability of human eggs to survive and function after long term storage in frozen ovaries (ovarian tissue cryopreservation). The study will seek to preserve ovarian tissue and reproductive potential for patients whose medical or surgical treatment may harm ovaries or remove ovarian tissue.
The main goal of this study is to evaluate spontaneous fertility after uterine leiomyomas embolization, in women between 18 and 40 years old.
The purpose of this study is to assess continuation rates and patient satisfaction with self administration subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate.
Researchers believe that certain lifestyle factors can influence a couple's ability to conceive and have a baby. The ISIS Study will look at the health habits of couples who are planning their first pregnancy, and then attempt to measure the effect these habits have on the couple's fertility. The ISIS Study hopes to clarify the link between lifestyle and fertility, and believes that information gained in this project may help future couples in their attempts to conceive.
The aim of this study is to examine whether incubation of human oocytes until pronuclear stage, in different culture media containing high and low concentrations of glucose affect fertilization differently, not only in standard IVF cycles, but also after intracytoplasmatic sperm injection.In addition, we wish to determine whether exposure of oocytes to different concentrations of glucose until pronuclear stage has further effect on embryo quality and development until the blastocyst stage.
The objective of this study is to determine whether women in a Medicaid population at risk for unintended pregnancy will keep a home pregnancy test on hand and (if necessary) use it appropriately.
this study will try to determine whether serum levels of insulin like growth factor are higher in fertile women than infertile women.
Treatment of patients with beta thalassemia in North America has altered dramatically during the past 40 years, with improvements in transfusion therapy and introduction of iron chelation therapy. Thalassemia patients now enjoy an increased life expectancy to the fifth and sixth decades of life, with fertility and childbearing becoming important issues. Data regarding this important topic remain limited, without clear data regarding iron control including serial assessment of hepatic iron concentration, the need for assistance in becoming pregnant, and use of iron chelating agents during pregnancy. As the life expectancy increases and overall health improves in thalassemia, clear data on fertility, pregnancy complications, and the effect of pregnancy on maternal health in thalassemia patients are necessary since these will have a direct impact on patient care, quality of life, and patient expectations.
This multicenter, randomized, open-label study will be performed in approximately 990 healthy females undergoing IVF. Each study center will follow their study center standard practice for IVF unless otherwise noted in this protocol. The study centers will be provided with the medications for down regulation, stimulation and ovulation induction. The subjects will be randomized to study medication on the day of oocyte retrieval or the day following and will continue treatment for up to 10 weeks. The subjects with a confirmed pregnancy will be required to return to the clinic several times during the course of the 10 week treatment period for serum pregnancy tests and transvaginal ultrasounds to monitor the pregnancy.
The deficit in the total number of antral follicles is associated with a reduction of the ovarian fertility potential in young women. The principal objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between FSH receptor polymorphism and antral follicle count. The investigators have designed a study of FSH receptor polymorphisms P1 and P2 as an association with a low antral follicle count in the ovary.
