Objective: To compare two different blastocyst biopsy protocols.
Design: Retrospective single-center cohort study.
Settings: Private in vitro fertilization center.
Although oocyte donors are young and are expected to provide a high rate of euploid oocytes, significant differences of euploidy rates for donor embryos exist between different IVF centers (1). Laboratory conditions can lead to differences of euploidy (2,3,4,5,6,7); but, the role of COH has not been investigated. In this study, we investigated whether euploidy rates in the embryos created from donor oocytes are influenced by controlled ovarian hyperstimulation parameters used during assisted reproduction.

Design: Prospective cohort study.
Setting: Tertiary care military facility.
Background: Antimüllerian hormone is a marker of ovarian reserve and is now routinely measured in women seeking infertility treatment.
Case: A 42-year-old woman, gravida 1, abortus 1, presented with secondary infertility. Obtained originally for assessment of ovarian reserve, an antimüllerian hormone of more than 160 ng/mL raised suspicion for a granulosa cell tumor.
Background: Falsely elevated testosterone is a rare phenomenon that may result from heterophile antibodies. Similar to patients with heterophile antibodies for β-hCG, incorrect management may result in unnecessary testing or therapy.
Case: A previously healthy postmenopausal woman presented with a falsely elevated total testosterone level due to interference consistent with heterophile antibodies, with subsequent normal levels detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
