We studied the concentration of serum estradiol and serum and follicular fluid leptin in 200 women undergoing their first in vitro fertilization with embryo transfer (IVF-ET) program at the time of human chorionic gonadotrophin administration and oocyte retrieval, in an attempt to assess their concerted role on embryo quality and the prognosis of IVF outcome. Low serum (46.49 ± 8.4 ng/ml) and follicular fluid (52 ± 9.8 ng/ml) leptin levels were associated with a high number of ‘good-quality’ embryos (73.6%) and high implantation (11.2%) and pregnancy (35.8%) rates and were observed in women with normal peak estradiol levels of between 1000 and 2000 pg/ml. It appears that leptin and estradiol interact coordinately in a concentration-dependent manner to control IVF outcome. Further studies will be required to substantiate and clarify the mechanism of proposed conditional interaction between the two hormonal systems.

Abstract A 29-year-old woman with a 5-year history of primary infertility underwent in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment. Hemorrhagic shock caused by retroperitoneal hematoma after oocyte retrieval was treated promptly by the evaluation of diagnostic laparoscopy and angiography. The patient was recovered and discharged from the hospital 7 days later without any complications. She was later diagnosed with Von Willebrand disease by a hematologist.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to determine whether the treatment with doxycycline before and after oocyte retrieval is as effective as salpingectomy in minimizing the detrimental effect of hydrosalpinx on the outcomes of IVF-ET. Methods A retrospective analysis was done for the outcomes of the IVF-ET cycles of patients with hydrosalpinx who underwent laparoscopic salpingectomy prior to IVF cycle ( n = 260 ) or were treated with extended doxycycline treatment during the IVF cycle (n = 45).In doxycycline group, doxycycline (100 mg twice daily ) was started one week before anticipated oocyte retrieval and was continued for one week after oocyte retrieval. In salpingectomy group, the mesosalpinx was coagulated as close as possible to the fallopian tube. Results The implantation, clinical pregnancy, ongoing pregnancy and live birth rates were significantly higher in the salpingectomy group ( 20.87% Vs. 9.91%, P value = 0.007, 44.62% Vs. 20% P value = 0.002, 39.62% Vs. 17.78%,P value = 0.005 and 37.31% Vs. 15.56% P value = 0.005 respectively). Conclusion Salpingectomy is more effective than extended doxycycline treatment in improving the outcomes of IVF-ET in patients with hydrosalpinx undergoing IVF-ET. Further, larger well designed randomized controlled trials should be conducted to confirm the findings of this study.

Abstract Background: Diclofenac inhibits follicle rupture and its use in natural-cycle in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) has been reported to increase oocyte retrieval chances but has not been reported to improve the therapeutic outcome (live birth). The question is whether the therapeutic utility of diclofenac is demonstrable when administered to a subgroup of women with an imminent LH surge, a higher risk group for premature ovulation.Methods: Infertile women indicated for the natural-cycle IVF-ET between September 2014 and February 2015 (n=183) were recruited in a private infertility clinic and diclofenac use (50 mg suppositories, thrice every 8 h before oocyte retrieval) was offered when their serum LH level was ≥14.0 IU/L on an LH-triggering day (n=137). Of the 137 women, 108 electively used diclofenac and 29 did not. Oocytes were retrieved from both dominant and subordinate nondominant follicles and were fertilized. The resulting blastocysts were frozen, thawed, and transferred one by one in the following spontaneous ovulatory or hormone replacement cycles. Results: Cumulative live birth rate (after the single oocyte retrieval) was calculated from the dominant and nondominant follicles. The live birth rate from dominant follicles was higher in the diclofenac group (21/108, 19%) than in the no diclofenac group (1/29, 3%) (P < .05). Conversely, the live birth rate from nondominant follicles, which had no potential for ovulation, was not different between the diclofenac group (13/108, 12%) and the no diclofenac group (3/29, 10%). Conclusion: Diclofenac improved the live birth rate from dominant follicles when it was administered to women with an imminent LH surge. However, diclofenac did not affect the live birth rate from non-dominant follicles which were not at risk of follicle rupture.
