Filter by:The study included 154 infertile women Patients received 100 mg of oral clomiphene citrate for five days starting on day 3 of the menstrual cycle, followed by daily injection of 150 IU of hMG and when more than two dominant follicles reached a diameter of 17 mm 5,000 IU of hCG was injected intramuscularly. Patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups: Group C received IUI without ESI and Group S had ESI using No.8 neonatal feeding tube and after 24 to 36 hours, IUI was performed. Successful pregnancy was con-firmed by ultrasound and patients had failed trial underwent another trial of IUI for a maximum of three trials.
Objective: To compare two stimulation protocols, the minidose long protocol and the microdose flare protocol designed for low responders undergoing ICSI. Design: Randomized prospective study. Setting: University hospital IVF unit. Patients: 60 poor responder patients coming for IVF center for ICSI. Interventions: Minidose long protocol in which half the dose of agonist was administered from the mid luteal phase until the day of HCG administration was compared with microdose flare protocol in which half the dose of GnRH was administered from the second day of the cycle until the day of HCG administration. Both groups received Gn stimulation from the second day of the cycle (300-450 IU). Main outcome measures: Number of oocytes retrieved.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of women in childbearing age. Hyperinsulinemia contributes to chronic anovulation commonly encountered in women with PCOS. The first choice therapy is clomiphene citrate (CC). In CC resistant cases, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) recommends the use of insulin sensitizer metformin. Other insulin sensitizing agents include rosiglitazone and pioglitazone. Pioglitazone is said to improve fertility and ovulation in patients with PCOS.CC may be associated with poor endometrial thickening due to its antiestrogenic effect. Letrozole may improve this condition. In this study we will compare the effect of combined letrozole-metformin with that of combined letrozole-pioglitazone in ovulation induction in CC-resistant PCOS women
This is a pilot study examining the feasibility of implementing a large randomized control trial looking at the effect of endometrial shedding with medroxyprogesterone acetate compared to no pre-treatment in women taking clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction for infertility due to oligo-ovulation or anovulation.
The aim of this study was to assess meiotic recombination in primary spermatocytes, synaptonemal complex length and the correlation with chromosomal abnormalities in testicular spermatozoa from infertile men with idiopathic non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA).
The long down regulation protocol is widely used in the in vitro fertilization cycles, now it will be assessed regarding its efficacy, in poor responder females undergoing in vitro fertilization cycles, alone and after the addition of growth hormone.
This study evaluates the quality of sperm produced after semen processing using Density Gradient (DG) and swimming down (SD).
The investigators evaluate the feedback of using swim down semen processing method during preparation for ICSI and compare the results of pregnancy and embryos quality with the cases used density gradient method for their semen processing.
Heparin also has the ability to bind with and modulate a wide variety of proteins, which can influence a number of physiological processes involved in implantation & trophoblastic development. These processes include adhesion of the blastocyst to the endometrial surface & trophoblastic differentiation & invasion. A recent Cochrane review hinted towards research to study the possible effects of the local (uterine), & NOT SYSTEMIC application of heparin during Assisted reproductive technology (ART). Based on the above evidence the investigators hypothesize that low molecular weight heparin given intrauterine at mock embryo transfer after oocyte pick up will help improve pregnancy rates in patients undergoing ART.
At which deleterious cut off value of progesterone on day of HCG (P-hCG) in our IVF program should fresh embryo transfer (ET) be cancelled?
