Objective: To investigate the adjuvant efficacy of metformin treatment to achieve pathological complete response (CR) in patients with endometrial complex hyperplasia (CH) and complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH), and secondarily, to evaluate their pregnancy outcomes after following assisted reproductive technology (ART).

Study Design: This prospective cohort study analyzed 219 patients diagnosed with infertility and CH/CAH from January 2016 to December 2020. Among these patients, 138 were assigned to the control group (progesterone alone) and 81 were assigned to the study group (progesterone+metformin).

Objective: A bicornuate uterus results from failure of the Müllerian ducts to completely fuse. If patients with bicornuate uterus are diagnosed with infertility, they can conceive with help from in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). With few studies on the reproductive performances of bicornuate uterus following IVF/ICSI treatment, the aim of present study is to investigate whether a bicornuate uterus would affect pregnancy rates and obstetric outcomes of infertile women.

Objectives: Healthy embryos and endometrial receptivity are keys to the success of in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Abnormal transvaginal ultrasonography (TVU) findings in the endometrium are a concern during assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments. Observation of a hyperechogenic endometrial mass (HEM) during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in an IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle is a dilemma.

Background: Very few studies have been conducted regarding the optimal time interval between hysteroscopic adhesiolysis and the embryo transfer (ET). Investigation of this optimal time may be helpful for assisted reproductive technology. Therefore, we investigated effects of the interval between hysteroscopic adhesiolysis and ET upon in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle outcomes.
