Impact of the endometrioma on ovarian response and pregnancy rate in in vitro fertilization cycles.

Background: Our objective was to evaluate the effect of ovarian endometrioma on ovarian stimulation outcomes in in vitro fertilization cycles (IVF).

Materials And Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we followed 103 patients who underwent intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedures over a 24-months period. The study group consisted of 47 infertile women with either unilateral or bilateral ovarian endometrial cysts of less than 3 cm.

Comparing intramuscular progesterone, vaginal progesterone and 17 -hydroxyprogestrone caproate in IVF and ICSI cycle.

Background: Supplementation of luteal phase with progesterone is prescribed for women undergoing routine IVF treatment.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of three types of progesterone on biochemical, clinical and ongoing pregnancy rates and abortion and live birth rates.

Materials And Methods: A prospective randomized study was performed at Royan Institute between March 2008 and March 2009 in women under 40 years old, who use GnRH analog down-regulation.

The role of inhibin B in prediction of in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles' outcome.

Objective: To investigate the usefulness of inhibin B concentrations obtained on the fifth day in predicting ovarian response and assisted reproductive technologies outcome.

Methods: In this prospective multi-center study, infertile women who were candidate for in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection for the first time were enrolled. These patients were referred to the Royan Institute, Vali-Asr Hospital and Alvand Hospital, Tehran, Iran between 2003 and 2004.
