Infertility is very common problem arising now a days due to changing lifestyle .according to Ayurveda , Rutu, Kshetra, Ambu, and Beeja are basic important things for garbhadharna and successful pregnancy. Amongst there beeja factor in femalesi.e ovulation contributes 15 to 25% and is the second common cause of infertility.                ovulatory factor is an important subject in infertility among  women,according about 40% cases over the past few decades modern medical science develop different types of modalities for infertility like Hormonal therapy, in- vitro fertilization embryo transfer, gammet intra fallopian transfer etc. but having limited success rate. Additionally their procedures have adverse effect on physical and mental health of couple plus they are costly. To overcome this inconvenience population is turning towards traditional mode of treatment i.e. Ayurveda.

AbstractThe year 2018 marked 40 years since the birth of Louise Brown, the first baby born as a result of pioneering in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Since then, advances have seen a wide range of reproductive technologies emerge into clinical practice, including adjuvant treatments often referred to as IVF “add-ons.” However, these “optional extras” have faced growing criticism, especially when they have often come at additional financial cost to the patient and have little evidence supporting their efficacy to improve pregnancy or birth rates. Despite this, according to the latest national patient survey by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, three quarters of patients who had fertility treatment in the United Kingdom in the past two years had at least one type of treatment add-on highlighting the growing demand for these interventions. This article uses a psychosocial perspective to consider the motivations behind patient and clinician behavior along with the wider societal and economic factors that may be impacting upon the increase in the use of adjuvant treatments in fertility clinics more widely. It suggests the reasons fertility patients use unproven “optional extras” are complex, with interpersonal, psychological, and social factors intertwining to generate an increase in the use of IVF add-ons.

Lectin-glycan interactions, in particular those mediated by the galectin family, regulate many processes required for a successful pregnancy. Over the past decades, increasing evidence gathered from in vitro and in vivo experiments indicate that members of the galectin family specifically bind to both intracellular and membrane bound carbohydrate ligands regulating angiogenesis, immune-cell adaptations required to tolerate the fetal semi-allograft and mammalian embryogenesis. Therefore, galectins play important roles in fetal development and placentation contributing to maternal and fetal health. This review discusses the expression and role of galectins during the course of pregnancy, with an emphasis on maternal immune adaptions and galectin-glycan interactions uncovered in the recent years. In addition, we summarize the galectin fingerprints associated with pathological gestation with particular focus on preeclampsia.

Abstract Background: Different types of incubators have been designed for gamete and embryo culture in the past few years. The main differences of these incubators are humidity, temperature and gas control system, which play important roles in regulating the steady state of culture media. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of different types of incubators (air jacket incubators and water jacket incubators) on embryo development and clinical outcomes in human in vitro fertilization (IVF).Methods: First, the physical performances of different incubators were tested by mimicking routine IVF procedures. After that, in a randomized controlled trial, 1013 cumulus oocyte complexes from 43 patients were equally divided into two groups, fertilized and cultured in two types of incubators to analyze the effects of different types of incubators on embryo development and clinical outcomes. Results: We found that temperature recovery time in the air jacket incubator was significantly shorter than that in water jacket incubator. Although the O2 recovering time was also significantly shorter in the air jacket incubator as compared with the water jacket incubator, no significant differences were observed in the CO2 recovering time between two groups, which was also verified by pH recovering time of culture media. Besides, the temperature of culture medium in the dish covered with oil recovered more quickly in the air jacket incubators than that in water jacket incubators. However, there were no significant differences observed in the fertilization rate, Day 3 high-quality embryo formation rate, blastocyst formation rate, good blastocyst rate and clinical outcomes between two groups.Conclusions: These results indicate that the microenvironment, especially the temperature, in air jacket incubator recover faster than that in conventional water jacket incubator, however, there were no significant differences in embryo development and clinical outcomes between two types of incubators.

Objective:In the past few decades, new and more efficient techniques to help solve fertility problems have become widely available throughout the developed world. The aim of this study was to determine whether there were differences on psychopathology factors between women who had conceived after in vitro fertilization (IVF) and women who had conceived naturally.Methods:The sample was composed of 41 pregnant women of whom 28 women had conceived through assisted reproductive technology (IVF) and 13 had conceived naturally. Women were evaluated by week 20 of pregnancy at the Infanta Cristina University Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Service, in Badajoz. Women consented to complete the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R).Results:IVF women were characterized by higher scores on Anxiety Scale (t = 3.90; p = 0.045) and lower scores on Hostility Scale (t = 4.35; p = 0.041) than women who had conceived naturally. There were no differences in the others scales.Conclusions:IVF women appear to present a temperamental profile characterized by a tendency to anxiety. Further research is needed to firstly, confirm these preliminary findings, and secondly, to longitudinally explore its impact on pregnancy outcome and mother-infant attachment.
