Impact of prior levonorgestrel intrauterine device use at the time of embryo transfer.

Abstract: Our objective is to investigate whether infertile women with a history of levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG IUD) use have impaired endometrial growth and pregnancy rates after embryo transfer. This is a retrospective cohort study at a single academic medical center of infertile women aged 18-44 with a history of LNG IUD use undergoing their first embryo transfer cycle between January 2019 and January 2021 compared to controls with a history of no prior birth control use (NONE) or prior oral contraceptive (OCP) use. The primary outcome is endometrial thickness prior to embryo transfer.

Oncofertility in Children and Adolescents.

Major improvements have been seen in oncofertility care over the last decade. Clinical ethics frameworks support new populations, including children, having access to novel fertility preservation techniques. Oncofertility consultation requires a multidisciplinary approach.

Thoughts and opinions about fertility preservation and family building from the transgender community-an interview-based approach.

Background: When considering the significant prevalence of transgender and gender nonconforming individuals, it is imperative that physicians work to understand the unique needs of this population including paths to family building and fertility preservation.

Objective: To understand the thoughts and opinions about fertility preservation and family building within the transgender community.

Study Design: Survey-based study and qualitative study at a single, large hospital-affiliated fertility center.

The impact of intersectionality on the experience of medical trainees.

Diverse trainees have different training experiences than non-diverse trainees; however, it has not been demonstrated if the number of diverse traits (DTs) (i.e. intersectionality) contributes to worse experiences.

Similar accuracy and patient experience with different one-step ovulation predictor kits.

Objective: To examine the accuracy of five different at-home ovulation predictor kits (OPKs), and to understand patient experience with the use of those kits.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Single academic fertility practice.
