Women conceiving by assisted reproduction are at higher risk for preterm and premature rupture of membranes. The aim of our study was to estimate and compare incidence of preterm premature rupture of membranes in singleton pregnancies of women who conceived by intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization, from 1999 to 2003. We investigated 87 women from the intrauterine insemination, and 102 from the in vitro fertilization program. There were no statistically significant differences in regard to preterm and premature rupture of membranes: p>0.75 in two groups. The incidence of premature rupture of membranes was 2.30% (after intrauterine insemination) and 2.94% (after in vitro fertilization). There was no statistically significant differences in regard to preterm and premature rupture of membranes in women who conceived by insemination and in vitro fertilization. Estimated incidence of preterm and premature rupture of membranes was similar to the literature data and also similar to incidence after natural conception.

Introduction. Infertility affects 15-17% of reproductive age couples in our country, and 10-15% of couples worldwide. The aim of this paper was to present results and experience gained after the first 1000 cycles of the national In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) program, to offer professional standard of work in our country and to compare it with results obtained in Europe and worldwide. Material and methods. The study prospectively included 1000 women who had undergone national In Vitro Fertilization program from October 2006 until November 2009 at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Clinical Center of Vojvodina, Novi Sad. Results. The analysis included 1000 in vitro fertilization cycles. Male factor infertility was the leading cause (56.9%) followed by tubal factor (45.9%). The classic method of in vitro fertilization constituted 72.3% of all cycles, while intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) method was used in 27.7% of all cycles. The average number of embryos transferred was 2.67. The cycle cancellation rate was 14.10% and the aspiration rate was 94.40%. The clinical pregnancy and live birth rate were 33.41% and 26.78% per embryo transfer, respectively. Discussion and conclusion. The results in our study showed that in our setting there are far less intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles compared with the European average of 66.5% of all fresh cycles, and that we transferred more embryos on average. Our success rates are comparable with those in other European countries where the clinical pregnancy rates per aspiration and per transfer for in vitro fertilization were 29 and 32.4%, respectively in the period of observation. For intracytoplasmic sperm injection, the corresponding rates were 29.9 and 33%.

Increased Risk

This article presents reviews of literature sources on the issue of assessing the risk of developing gynecological cancer in women after an in vitro fertilization program. Infertility and infertile marriages have now become quite a big problem of modern medicine. Against the background of the unfavorable demographic situation in the Russian Federation, this problem is becoming quite urgent. The main way to solve this situation is assisted reproductive technologies, among which the most common is in vitro fertilization. The in vitro fertilization program is accompanied by a hormonal ovulation stimulation procedure to obtain a female germ cell capable of fertilization. Against the background of the active use of the in vitro fertilization procedure, many patients had concerns related to the risk of developing gynecological cancer after the IVF procedure, which is due to the use of hormonal drugs to stimulate the ovaries. Also of concern is the fact that certain types of cancer, including ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer and breast cancer, are hormone-dependent. In this regard, multiple large-scale studies were conducted, which showed that the risk of developing gynecological cancer is really increased in patients after the in vitro fertilization program. In particular, breast cancer in women after the in vitro fertilization program is more common by 10%, and in women without a history of pregnancy and over the age of 40, it is more common by 31%. The increased risk may be due to age-related vulnerability to the effects of hormones or higher doses of hormones during the IVF procedure. Ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer are also more common in patients after IVF. According to the research results, it is suggested that it is not the IVF procedure itself that causes the development of cancer, but excessive hormonal load of the body, which leads to the launch of carcinogenesis.
