In a nutshell This study investigated if endometrial thickness (EMT) is associated with neonatal outcomes after fresh embryo transfer (Fr-ET). They found that a low EMT was associated with the risk of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants. Some background Assisted reproduction (AR) is used to treat infertility. Procedures like in vitro...

What is the best method to prepare the womb lining for frozen embryo transfer?
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...
Read MoreAre IVF trigger hormone levels associated with pregnancy rates?
In a nutshell This study looked at whether blood levels of the HCG hormone affect the chances of pregnancy after in vitro fertilization (IVF). This study concluded that having high HCG levels in the blood was associated with a higher chance of pregnancy. Some background IVF is an infertility treatment in which eggs are removed from a...
Read MoreEvaluating natural cycle IVF for older women with poor ovarian response
In a nutshell This study compared two types of IVF (in vitro fertilization) procedures for older women with a poor ovarian response. This study found that modified natural cycle IVF was promising, but not more effective than conventional IVF in older women with POR. Some background In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a method to treat...
Read MoreCan calcium infusions prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome?
In a nutshell This paper studied whether calcium could reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in women undergoing in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). Authors concluded that an infusion of calcium significantly reduced the rate of ovarian hyperstimulation in women at high risk. Some background In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a procedure...

In a nutshell This study investigated how paternal age affects the outcomes of intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Researchers reported an effect of paternal age on the number of high-quality embryos, but not on other pregnancy outcomes, following ICSI. Some background The effect of the mother’s age (maternal age) on pregnancy has been...
