In a nutshell This study investigated the effects of GnRH agonist to stimulate ovulation in women with a history of follicular-endometrial asynchrony. They found that GnRH agonist was associated with higher rates of clinical pregnancy and live birth compared to standard hCG treatment. Some background One approach for treating unexplained...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This paper studied whether uterine fibroids can affect pregnancy outcomes following ovarian stimulation with intrauterine insemination. Authors reported no differences in live birth rates in women with fibroids and those without fibroids. Some background Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths around the uterus. Studies have been...

In a nutshell This study examined the risk of birth defects in children conceived with assisted reproductive technologies. Some background Previous studies have suggested that assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) increase the risk of birth defects. ARTs include in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI),...

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 MoreIn a nutshell This article outlines the current methods available to improve in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates in women over 35 years old. The authors discuss the outcomes of a single embryo transfer of an embryo that has been genetically selected. Some background IVF involves the artificial matching of a...

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...
