Impact of Plasmatic Progesterone on the Day of Frozen Embryo Transfer in Hormone-induced Cycles.

Objective:  To establish a relationship between serum progesterone values on the day of frozen blastocyst transfer in hormone-replaced cycles with the probability of pregnancy, miscarriage or delivery.

Methods:  This was an ambispective observational study including all frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles performed at our department following in vitro fecundation from May 2018 to June 2019. The outcomes evaluated were β human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG)-positive pregnancy and delivery.

Juvenile cystic adenomyoma.

The purpose of this paper is to describe a case of juvenile cystic adenomyoma in a 17 year-old female patient with severe dysmenorrhoea unresponsive to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The patient presents progressively worsening dysmenorrhoea that started 2 years after menarche and a cystic uterine lesion in MRI. The cyclic nature of symptoms, the similarity of the lesion and endometrium in MRI signal intensity and response to hormone suppression are consistent with juvenile cystic adenomyoma.

[Impact of hormone replacement therapy on body weight].

Purpose: to evaluate the effect of hormone replacement therapy (HT) on the weight on perimenopausal women as well as the effect of different treatment regimens on this parameter.

Methods: a retrospective study of 139 women with menopause for less than 2 years, who were monitored with periodical visits in our department. We compared two groups: women who started HT (n=89) with women who had no hormonal treatment (n=50) and in the two groups, we evaluated the changes in body weight over a 1-year period.
