First follow-up of art pregnancies in the context of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Objective: The aims of this study were to follow up the monitoring, health and anxiety from women who became pregnant after an embryo transfer or a intrauterine insemination during the COVID-19 epidemic in France STUDY DESIGN: This is a single centre, retrospective study from December 2019 to March 2020 based on a phone call interview using a specific questionnaire sheet specially developed for this study. Questionnaires from 104 pregnant women were completed and descriptive data are then analyzed.

Results: Women with ongoing pregnancies (n = 88) did not change their physician visits.

Priming Before In Vitro Maturation Cycles in Cancer Patients Undergoing Urgent Fertility Preservation: a Randomized Controlled Study.

In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes retrieved at germinal vesicle stage, followed by vitrification of mature oocytes, has emerged as a fertility preservation (FP) option. This technique was first developed for patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome. In this population, providing LH activity prior to oocyte collection has been associated with better IVM outcomes.

Comparison of GnRH agonist and hCG for priming in vitro maturation cycles in cancer patients undergoing urgent fertility preservation.

In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes retrieved at germinal vesicle or Metaphase I stage, followed by vitrification of Metaphase II (MII) oocytes, has recently emerged as an option for urgent fertility preservation (FP). Priming is usually achieved with an injection of hCG, 10,000 IU, 36 hours before retrieval. This study aimed to assess a new method of priming, using GnRH agonists, and compare it to hCG, in cancer patients undergoing urgent FP.

Endometriosis-related infertility: assisted reproductive technology has no adverse impact on pain or quality-of-life scores.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of assisted reproduction technology (ART) on painful symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in women who have endometriosis as compared with disease-free women.

Design: Prospective controlled, observational cohort study.

Setting: University hospital.
