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.

Patient(s): Infertile couples undergoing IVF.

Intervention(s): Ninety-eight IVF/ET cycles with hypnosis during the ET procedure were matched with 96 regular IVF/ET cycles.

Main Outcome Measures: Comparison of clinical pregnancy and implantation rates between the two groups.

Result(s): We obtained 52 clinical pregnancies out of 98 cycles (53.1%) with an implantation rate of 28% among hypnosis IVF/ET cycles, and 29 out of 96 (30.2%) clinical pregnancies and an implantation rate of 14.4% in the control cycles. Our overall IVF program pregnancy rate for the same period was 32.1%. Logistic regression analysis was performed emphasizing the positive contribution of hypnosis to the IVF/ET conception rates.

Conclusion(s): This study suggests that the use of hypnosis during ET may significantly improve the IVF/ET cycle outcome in terms of increased implantation and clinical pregnancy rates. Furthermore, it seems that the patients' attitude to the treatment was more favorable.

Objective: To build a prediction nomogram for early prediction of live birth probabilities according to number of oocytes retrieved in women ≤ 35 years of age.

Methods: A prediction model was built including 9265 infertile women ≤ 35 years of age accepting their first ovum pick-up cycle from January 2018 to December 2022. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was performed to identify independent predictors and establish a nomogram to predict reproductive outcomes.

This was an original article, mainly explored the effects of the first frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) time on pregnancy outcomes after progestin primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) regimen. Our study implemented a retrospective analysis of 315 infertile patients who underwent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment from January 2021 to June 2023. Patients were divided into three groups based on their first FET time.

During the in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer process, some expectant mothers may not have good embryos to choose from before the embryo transfer. Recommendations for this condition are currently unclear, and relevant clinical and neonatal outcomes are still lacking. This study analyzed the outcomes of poor-quality embryo transfers, including fetal outcomes, in the fresh cycle and frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycle.
