A rare case of rectovaginal fistula following consensual vaginal intercourse.

Introduction: Postcoital nonobstetric vaginal lacerations due to consensual sexual act are generally minute mucosal tears. In some cases, the vaginal mucosa is lacerated deeper and the bleeding may require suturing of opened vessel ends or even transfusion.

Aim: The aim of this case report is to present a rare case of acute fistula formation by penile penetration through the full thickness of the rectovaginal wall after consensual vaginal intercourse and to its management in emergency settings.

Effects of coasting on the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer cycles.

Objectives: To determine the effects of 'coasting' on the outcome of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (ICSI-ET).

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: IVF Centre, Ozel Ege Tup Bebek Merkezi, Izmir, Turkey.

The effect of mid-luteal estradiol level on the outcome of ICSI-ET cycles.

Methods: We investigated if mid-luteal estradiol levels could predict the outcome in intracytoplasmic sperm injection embryo transfer (ICSI-ET) cycles ( n=231). Pregnant and non-pregnant women were compared regarding their peak estradiol levels on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection day, and mid-luteal estradiol levels on the 7th day following oocyte recovery. Pregnancy rates of the groups that were designed according to the "peak/mid-luteal estradiol level" and the mid-luteal estradiol levels were also compared.
