Background. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment always attain a low cumulative pregnancy rate disaccording with the satisfactory number of oocytes.Objective. We aim to evaluate the status of coagulation and fibrinolytic system in PCOS patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) process.Method. Of the 97 women, 30 patients with PCOS composed the study group; 67 women of child-bearing age with normal endocrine function composed the control group. All participants underwent GnRH agonist standard long protocol, and plasma HCY, FVIII, FX, and D-dimer levels as well as hormone parameters were measured at day of full downregulation, hCG priming, and embryos transfer.Results. On day of full downregulation, FX levels were significantly higher in PCOS group (P<0.01). On hCG priming day, FX and estrogen levels in PCOS group were higher than in the control group and FVIII levels were significantly lower on day of embryos transfer whereas FX and E2 levels were significantly higher in PCOS group.Conclusion. Hypercoagulable state during peri-implantation phase would probably lead to poor microcirculation of endometrium and be one of the most important disadvantages of successful implantation and subsequent clinical pregnancy.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of gonadotropin dose and endometrial thickness (EMT) on pregnancy outcome in patients undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI). Methods We retrospectively analyzed data from 361 patients with unexplained infertility or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) who underwent 930 IUI cycles treated with gonadotropins. Then, we measured the effects of gonadotropins and EMT on the clinical pregnancy rate. Finally, we assessed the association of various doses of gonadotropins on EMT. Results The dose of gonadotropins given and thickness of the endometrium were higher in the pregnancy group than in the nonpregnancy group (636.0 vs. 600.0 IU for gonadotropin dose; 9.15 vs. 8.70 mm for EMT). Clinical pregnancy rates were significantly improved by increasing the dose of gonadotropins (9.1%, <450 IU; 16.2%, 450–599 IU; 18.6%, 600–749 IU, and 17.3%, ≥750 IU), or by increased EMT (0%, <5.0 mm; 12.2%, 5.0–6.9 mm; 15.5%, 7.0–14.0 mm; and 33.3%, >14.0 mm). Conclusion Increasing the dose of gonadotropins to stimulate one follicle to develop may benefit endometrial proliferation and improve IUI outcomes.

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) causes a significantly increased risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Here, we focused on the altered expression of serum miRNAs and their predictive value for OHSS in PCOS patients. Methods: We used the TaqMan low density array followed by individual quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to identify and validate the expression of serum miRNAs in PCOS patients likely to develop severe OHSS. Results: The miR-16 and miR-223 expression levels were significantly reduced in the patients who were likely to develop severe OHSS than in the control subjects who were likely to develop mild or no OHSS. The sensitivity and specificity of the basal LH, basal LH/FSH, and body mass index (BMI) as OHSS predictors were also evaluated. miR-16 was the most efficient for OHSS prediction as it yielded the highest AUC. Logistic binary regression analyses revealed a positive association of miR-223 and BMI. Conclusion: Serum miRNAs are differentially expressed in PCOS patients likely to suffer from severe OHSS. We identified and validated two serum miRNAs that have potential for use as novel noninvasive biomarkers to accurately predict OHSS before controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for PCOS patients.
