Ten good prognosis patients underwent IVF with a new ovarian stimulation protocol using only 8 microg of recombinant choriogonadotropin and a GnRH antagonist starting at a 14-mm lead follicle. Six of the 10 subjects delivered and all had supernumerary embryos for cryopreservation.

Lutropin/choriogonadotropin receptor (LH/CGR) is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. LH/CGRs in fish and mammalian species have been reported to contain naturally occurring, constitutively activating, and inactivating mutations in highly conserved regions. The present study was designed to determine the functional aspect of eel LH/CGR signal transduction.

Objective: We aimed to compare highly purified human menopausal gonadotropin (hp-hMG) and recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) in short antagonist in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles of patients with poor ovarian reserve (POR). Limited research exists on this comparison in short antagonist cycles for this patient group.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved 165 POR patients aged 18-45 years who underwent IVF between 2018 and 2022.

Background: There are limited and controversial findings concerning ovulation induction using intrauterine and intramuscular human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection compared to intramuscular hCG alone. The study aimed to examine the impact of intrauterine hCG injection, which is used to induce ovulation, on the efficacy of the intrauterine insemination (IUI) technique in patients with unexplained infertility.

Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted involving 80 subjects with unexplained primary infertility at the infertility clinic of Al-Zahra Hospital in northwest Iran.

Article Synopsis
  • Follicular tracking is usually done with ultrasound, but it has limited resolution; a new high-resolution imaging technique using near-infrared II (NIR-II) luminescence imaging has been developed for better visualization of ovarian follicles.
  • This approach utilizes an FDA-approved contrast agent, indocyanine green (ICG) conjugated with hCG, allowing targeted monitoring of early follicles and avoiding damage from other imaging methods like CT scans.
  • Results indicate that the NIR-II imaging can accurately identify follicles as small as 50 µm and also effectively detect ovarian tumors and micro-metastatic lesions, presenting a promising tool for infertility assessment and surgical guidance.

Background: Recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rhFSH) is commonly used to treat female infertility, but its short half-life necessitates multiple doses. Even corifollitropin alfa, with an extended half-life, requires supplementary injections of rhFSH after 7 days. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a long-acting follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) formulation using anti-serum albumin Fab-associated (SAFA) technology to avoid additional injections and enhance ovarian function.
