Endometriosis fertility index predicts pregnancy in women operated on for moderate and severe symptomatic endometriosis.

Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) is a clinical staging system created to predict spontaneous pregnancy outcomes in patients with endometriosis. The present study aimed at evaluating the performance of EFI in symptomatic patients, submitted to laparoscopy for moderate and severe endometriosis associated to infertility in a Brazilian population. Seventy-seven women with endometriosis and pelvic pain, who desired to become pregnant, were selected from a tertiary care unit between those operated on between May 2007 and March 2017.

Progestin-Primed Ovarian Stimulation is a non-inferior alternative to the GnRH Antagonist Protocol in patients undergoing assisted reproductive techniques: a retrospective study.

Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of Clinical Pregnancy Rates from Progestin-Primed Ovarian Stimulation compared to the GnRH Antagonist Protocol when the freeze-all and blastocyst transfer strategy is applied.

Methods: A retrospective study included all IVF cycles performed at Pró-Criar Reproductive Medicine Center, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, between May 2018 and May 2019 using a GnRH antagonist analogue or oral progestins to block the LH peak in IVF/intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles for infertility treatment.

Results: The primary outcome of our study was Clinical Pregnancy Rate at the first ET (Blastocyst), which were 58.
