In a nutshell This study looked at how methods used to prepare the womb lining affect the success of frozen embryo transfers. This study found that mild ovary stimulation was associated with better pregnancy outcomes compared to an artificial cycle. Some background In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an infertility treatment where the eggs...

Correcting an out-of-sync endometrium increases pregnancy rates
In a nutshell This study looks at the effect of adjusting the length of hormone treatment on pregnancy rates in women with an out-of-sync endometrium. Some background Recent advances in fertility treatment have enabled women to freeze embryos (eggs fertilized with the male sperm prior to freezing) for future use. Reasons for freezing embryos...
Read MorePersonalized IVF using genetic endometrial testing
In a nutshell This trial investigated whether a new genetic test could predict the best time to undergo embryo implantation during in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Some background Some women undergoing IVF experience repeated implantation failure (RIF). RIF means that the fertilized embryos introduced into the uterus fail to implant and result in...
Read MoreDoes ICSI improve fertilization rates?
In a nutshell This study looked at in-vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in couples with unexplained infertility. Two egg fertilization techniques were compared: intracytoplasmatic sperm injection versus conventional insemination. Some background IVF involves the artificial joining of eggs and sperm in a laboratory dish. This is typically achieved...
Read MoreGonadotropin plus hCG versus hCG alone for egg retrieval
In a nutshell This study looked at the outcomes of a new egg retrieval strategy in women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Researchers compared a 2-drug combination ("dual-trigger") to the standard hCG trigger injection. Some background IVF requires eggs retrieved from the ovaries to be fertilized by sperm in a laboratory dish. To...
