Introduction: The aim of our study was to carry out a national survey of French practitioners to evaluate (i) their diagnostic criteria for making a diagnosis of unexplained infertility (UEI) and (ii) their management strategy when facing UEI.
Materials And Method: An online questionnaire comprising ten multiple-choice questions was sent by mail to French reproductive practitioners in 80 fertility centres.
Results: The response rate was 59.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether there are differences in clinical pregnancy and live birth rates between Day 5 (D5) and Day 6 (D6) blastocyst transfers in both fresh and frozen conditions.
- Results indicate that D5 blastocyst transfers yield significantly higher rates of clinical pregnancy and live births compared to D6 transfers.
- The research is based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of 47 articles, ultimately integrating data from 29 studies, reflecting advancements in assisted reproductive technology and previous conflicting findings.
This is a retrospective study over a 5-year period. In total, 3139 embryos were individually cryopreserved (Cryotop®) and warmed using the Kitazato vitrification/warming kit. They were classified into three categories based on their expansion degree.

Objectives: The aim of this article is to question the feeling of IVF patients towards embryonic cryopreservation, in order to understand their potential reluctance to freeze embryos and their difficulties to consider the fate of their frozen embryos once their parental project completed.
Methods: Twenty-seven semi-directive interviews with homologous IVF patients were conducted. These persons were followed in two fertility centres in Marseille.
Objectives: To study the social dimension of age-related female infertility through an analysis of three key themes: the personal life histories of infertile women over 40 years of age; representations of age and the desire to become pregnant after age 40; opinions of French legislations framing Assisted Reproductive Technologies, age limits, egg donation, and egg freezing for non-medical reasons.
Methods: This qualitative sociological study was based on semi-structured interviews with infertile women over age 40 going through fertility treatments. The interviews contained three parts: personal and relationship histories; experiences related to age; opinions related to French legislation.
