Filter by:Studies have shown that the follicles greater in diameter was most likely to have a mature oocyte that was capable of fertilization and best suited for development into a high-quality embryo. Smaller follicles showed lower rates ( 60%). Lately new triggering protocols have emerged aiming to improve the proportion of mature oocytes at the time of retrieval. The aim of this study is to learn the effects of the dual triggering compared to the standard hCG triggering on the oocyte development and quality as a function of the follicle size
The SOET project introduces a new strategy for routine follow-up of follicle growth during the hormonal treatment phase of an in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment cycle. After a learning instruction and demo, patients should be able to perform most of their vaginal echoes at home. The images can be sent to the medical center over the internet. These images are analyzed by the expert.
Human epididymal secretory protein 4 (HE4) is a new biomarker for ovarian cancer. The effect of IVF stimulation will be evaluated in order to see whether severe hormonal changes in the gonadotrophin and steroid status affect the serum levels of this marker. Findings will be compared to serum concentrations of CA-125, which is currently the most often used marker for ovarian cancer. The intention is to determine the serum concentration of HE4 and CA-125 in serial samples in 20 women undergoing IVF stimulation. Samples will be taken following GnRH agonist suppression, 2-3 times during FSH stimulation, at ovum pick up and two weeks following embryo transfer at the time of the hCG-test. The ovarian follicle count and the serum estradiol concentrations are recorded throughout the treatment. The serum biomarker HE4 is expected to ba a stable marker, which does not respond significantly to hormonal stimulation.
Our goal was to investigate whether early follicular supplementation of the GnRH antagonist to the flexible GnRH antagonist protocol, has a potential to improve IVF-ET clinical results
