Analysis of two different luteal phase support regimes and evaluation of fertilization-intra cytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate clinical pregnancy rates, miscarriage rates, ongoing pregnancy rates, and in vitro fertilization-intra cytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) administration compared with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) application for luteal phase support.

Materials And Methods: A total of 456 patients were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to luteal phase support type: in group 1 (n=158), single-dose triptorelin acetate 0.

Do Serum Vitamin D Levels Have Any Effect on Intrauterine Insemination Success?

Background: Recent studies have shown that vitamin D has an essential role in the reproductive system. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin D levels in patients undergoing ovulation induction (OI), and subsequent intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedure.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and four infertile and one hundred and three fertile women were recruited in this cross-sectional study which was conducted in a tertiary level maternity hospital.

Does ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination affect perinatal outcomes in singletons?

Aim: To evaluate the effect of solely intrauterine insemination on perinatal outcomes.

Methods: A total of 3830 OI/IUI cycles between January 2007 and December 2012 were included in the study. Three hundred and fifty-eight pregnancies following intrauterine insemination were encountered during the study period.

Endometriomas in adolescents and young women.

Study Objective: To evaluate clinical aspects of endometriomas encountered in late adolescent females and young women and to review the issues specifically related to the disease in this age group.

Design: Retrospective medical chart review study.

Setting: Adolescent gynecology and infertility clinic of a tertiary care hospital with women's health focus.

Asymmetric dimethylarginine concentrations are elevated in women with gestational diabetes.

As shown in the previous studies, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is related to endothelial dysfunction, whereas high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hCRP) is the marker of inflammation. In our study, we investigated ADMA, hCRP, and homocysteine concentrations in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) during late pregnancy. Fifty-four women with GDM and 69 women with NGT between 32 and 39 weeks of gestation were included in this study.
