Impact of hypnosis during embryo transfer on the outcome of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer: a case-control study.

Objective: To investigate whether hypnosis during ET contributes to successful IVF/ET outcome.

Design: Case-control clinical study.

Setting: Academic Fertility and IVF Unit, Soroka Medical Center, Beer-Sheva, Israel.

Increased prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus in in vitro fertilization pregnancies inadvertently conceived during treatment with long-acting triptorelin acetate.

Thirty-five pregnancies were inadvertently conceived during the midluteal application of the long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist triptorelin acetate before ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization. Most of the conceptions occurred before the first or second IVF trial, and were associated with a significantly increased tendency to develop gestational diabetes. No increase in pregnancy wastage or appearance of congenital malformations occurred.
