Pretreatment with oral contraceptive pills (OCP) has been widely applied in IVF/ICSI –ET treatment. However, it remains unclear whether OCP influences pregnancy rate of fresh cycle and subsequent cumulative pregnancy rate in patients with endometriosis. In this retrospective study, a total of 512 first attempt IVF/ICSI cycles of patients with endometriosis were included and divided into two groups: the study group included 216 cycles of patients undergoing pretreatment with OCP before pituitary suppression and ovarian stimulation, while 296 cycles of patients without pretreatment were considered as control. The ovarian stimulation performance and pregnancy results were compared between the two groups. Patients with OCP pretreatment required shorter duration, a lower dosage of gonadotropins, but obtained higher E2 level and more retrieved oocytes. Patients in the two groups obtained comparable fertilization rate, cleavage rate, but the number and rate of day 3 high-quality embryos were higher in OCP-pretreated patients. No differences were found in IVF/ICSI-ET outcomes, in terms of implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rates, live birth pregnancy rate, and cumulative pregnancy rate. In addition, despite the lack of statistical significance, a trend toward higher clinical pregnancy rate in a fresh cycle and cumulative pregnancy rate was found in OCP pretreated patients. It should be recommended that patients with endometriosis take OCP pretreatment before ovarian stimulation, since it offers advantages of lower cost and higher embryo-quality, and does not negatively influence pregnancy rates.Chakrabartty et al., International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, July 2017, 6(8): 44-48http://www.icpjonline.com/documents/Vol6Issue8/01.pdf

BACKGROUND It is well known that assisted reproduction technology (ART) is currently an effective method for treating infertility. But it is currently unknown whether the patients with fever after control ovulation during egg retrieval could increase risk of pelvic infection or not, and fever itself may be affect oocyte or embryo quantity and quality, thus with poor pregnancy outcomes? But if the oocyte retrieval was cancelled cause of fever, the risk of severe ovulation complications might increase, such as ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome, thrombus and ovarian pedicle torsion. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to analysis the outcomes of the patients with fever during oocyte retrieval after the first frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycle. METHODS This is a 1:3 retrospective paired study matched for age. In this study, 58 infertility patients (Group 1) had fever during the control ovulation and the time of the oocyte retrieval within 72 hours, they undertook ovum pick up and whole embryo freezing (“freeze-all” strategy). The control controls (Group 2) are174 patients matched for age with whole embryo freezing for other reasons. The baseline characteristic, clinical data of ovarian stimulation and the outcomes, such as the clinical pregnancy rate, early miscarriage rate, ectopic pregnancy rate and ongoing clinical pregnancy rate were compared between the two groups. RESULTS There were 58 patients were enrolled in the Group 1, and matched with 174 patients for the Group 2. All the patients had no pelvic inflammatory disease after oocyte retrieval. The basic characteristics of patients refers to age, BMI, nulliparity, basal FSH, basal LH, basal E2 and infertility type (primary or secondary) were with no significantly difference. But the AMH lever (4.2 versus 2.2, P<0.001) were higher and the infertility time (3 versus 2, P=0.035) was longer in the control group. The number of oocytes retrieved and fertilization rate were lower in the group (P< 0.001), but the ovarian stimulation protocol, the usage of Gn both time and dose, the ICSI rate, the 2PN rate, the number of available embryos (D3 and D5), the endometrial thickness, the number of embryo transfer and the type of luteal support supplementation were similar between the two groups. Regarding pregnancy outcomes,the implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, early spontaneous rate, ectopic pregnancy rate and ongoing pregnancy rate all were with no significantly difference. CONCLUSIONS The patients with fever during control ovulation and the oocyte retrieval got similar outcomes compared with those with no fever patients when taken the whole embryos freezing. Fever had almost no effect on the quality of embryo and endometrium. Moreover, the oocyte retrieved is relatively safe and reliable under strict disinfection and taken oral antibiotics for prevention infection.

Abstract Study question How can we find an ovarian stimulation method that does not cause hyper stimulation syndrome but can produce a high pregnancy rate at one cycle? Summary answer This newly developed method for PCOS has a higher accumulative clinical outcome for one trial and no OHSS. What is known already Almost all conventional treatments for PCOS have managed to avoid OHSS by reducing the number of growing follicles, which are associated with high Estradiol levels and stimulate the production of vessel endothelial growth hormone (VEGF), leading to increased vessel permeability. Low dose FSH administration, In vitro maturation (IVM), Ovarian Drilling and Coasting have been performed to achieve this. However, their actual clinical outcome is still unsatisfactory. Study design, size, duration Evaluation of the efficiency of this method was conducted retrospectively at St. Mother Clinic. The embryonic development and the clinical outcome were studied for 34 PCOS patients during the period between November 2018 and December 2019. Participants/materials, setting, methods We started injections of FSH (150iu/ml), then we did ultrasound follicle monitoring. GnRH antagonist shots were started when the leading follicle reached 18mm and continued until the largest follicle was 22–24mm and the E2 value was over 4000pg/ml. Letrozole (2.5mg) and leuprorelin acetate (1.88mg) was injected as trigger. Two tablets each of Letrozole, Cabergoline and GnRH antagonist were given for 5 consecutive days after the oocyte retrieval. All embryos were cryopreserved. Main results and the role of chance Number of patients and cycles were 34 and 59. Average number of cryopreserved blastocysts was 6.12 (1–16). The frequencies of OHSS (mild, moderate, severe) were 29.4% (10/34), 0% (0/34), 0% (0/34). Average days between oocyte collection and withdrawal hemorrhage was 5.44(5–7). Cryopreservation rate was 100.0% (34/34). Clinical pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate was 42.3% (25/59) and 16.0% (4/25). The cumulative pregnancy rate was 73.7% (25/34). The four remaining unsuccessful cases still have 10,6,3 and 7 frozen embryos. So, there is a high possibility that they become successful, that would bring the cumulative pregnancy rate up to 82.3% (28/34). Limitations, reasons for caution This COS for PCOS seems promising, however it is premature to conclude that this method is established. This method requires caution monitoring for hormone level, follicle size and number and coagulant function. It also accompanied with the risk of ovarian hemorrhage on aspiration of a great number of oocytes. Wider implications of the findings: This COS seems viable for PCOS cases. It could control the cohort of antral follicles with different doses of Letrozole to find the optimal COH method and it could become the first option for COS of PCOS. Trial registration number N/A

AbstractWe report a case of ultrasound-guided ex vivo oocyte retrieval for fertility preservation in a woman with bilateral borderline ovarian tumor, for whom conventional transvaginal oocyte retrieval was deemed unsafe because of the increased risk of malignant cell spillage. Ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins was performed. Surgery was scheduled according to the ovarian response to exogenous gonadotropic stimulation; oophorectomized specimens were obtained by laparoscopy, and oocyte retrieval was performed ∼ 37 hours after the ovulatory trigger. The sum of 20 ovarian follicles were aspirated, and 16 oocytes were obtained. We performed vitrification of 12 metaphase II oocytes and 3 oocytes matured in vitro. Our result emphasizes the viability of ex vivo mature oocyte retrieval after controlled ovarian stimulation for those with high risk of malignant dissemination by conventional approach.

Abstract Background Some studies have stated that intrauterine insemination (IUI) with controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) might increase the pregnancy rate, while others suggest that IUI in the natural cycle (NC) should be the first line of treatment. It remains unclear whether it is necessary to use COS at the same time when IUI is applied to treat isolated male factor infertility. Thus, we aimed to investigate efficacy of IUI with COS for isolated male factor infertility. Methods A total of 601 IUI cycles from 307 couples who sought medical care for isolated male factor infertility between January 2010 and February 2020 were divided into two groups: NC-IUI and COS-IUI. The COS-IUI group was further divided into two subgroups according to the number of pre-ovulatory follicles on the day of HCG: cycles with monofollicular development (one follicle group) and cycles with at least two pre-ovulatory follicles (≥ 2 follicles group). The IUI outcomes, including clinical pregnancy, live birth, spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy, and multiple pregnancy rates were compared. Results The clinical pregnancy, live birth, spontaneous abortion, and ectopic pregnancy rates were comparable between the NC-IUI and COS-IUI group. Similar results were also observed among the NC-IUI, one follicle, and ≥ 2 follicles groups. However, with respect to the multiple pregnancy rate, a trend toward higher multiple pregnancy rate was observed in the COS-IUI group compared to the NC-IUI group (8.7% vs. 0, P = 0.091), and a significant difference was found between the NC-IUI and ≥ 2 follicles group (0 vs. 16.7%, P = 0.033). Conclusion In COS cycles, especially in those with at least two pre-ovulatory follicles, the multiple pregnancy rate increased without a substantial gain in overall pregnancy rate; thus, COS should not be preferred in IUI for isolated male factor infertility. If COS is required, one stimulated follicle and one healthy baby should be the goal considering the safety of both mothers and foetuses.

AbstractTo compare pregnancy rate and implantation rate in poor responder women, aged over 40 years, who underwent natural cycle versus conventional ovarian stimulation. This is a retrospective single-center cohort study conducted at the GENERA IVF program, Rome, Italy, between September 2012 and December 2018, including only poor responder patients, according to Bologna criteria, of advanced age, who underwent IVF treatment through Natural Cycle or conventional ovarian stimulation. Between September 2012 and December 2018, 585 patients were included within the study. Two hundred thirty patients underwent natural cycle and 355 underwent conventional ovarian stimulation. In natural cycle group, both pregnancy rate per cycle (6.25 vs 12.89%, respectively, p = 0.0001) and pregnancy rate per patient101 with at least one embryo-transfer (18.85 vs 28.11% respectively, p = 0.025) resulted significant reduced. Pregnancy rate per patient managed with conventional ovarian stimulation resulted not significantly different compared with natural cycle (19.72 vs 15.65% respectively, p = 0.228), but embryo implantation rate was significantly higher in patients who underwent natural cycle rather than patient subjected to conventional ovarian stimulation (13 vs 8.28% respectively, p = 0.0468). No significant difference could be detected among the two groups in terms of abortion rate (p = 0.2915) or live birth pregnancy (p = 0.2281). Natural cycle seems to be a valid treatment in patients over 40 years and with a low ovarian reserve, as an alternative to conventional ovarian stimulation.
