Objective: To compare two flexible protocols of GnRHant in OH plus IUI vs a control group without GnRHant.
Materials And Methods: Randomized controlled trial 90 infertile patients were analyzed in 116 cycles of IUI. Cycles were randomized in 3 groups; group 1: started GnRHant when the leading follicle reached 14mm, group 2: when it reached 16mm and group 3: without GnRHant hormonal determinations were done during OH. Main outcomes were: premature LH raise incidence, premature luteinization (PL) and pregnancy rate per cycle.
Results: Premature LH rise incidence was 2.6% (3 cycles) and PL 6% (7 cycles). Group 1 didn't present cycles with LH rise or PL, groups 2 and 3 presented LH rise in 3.1% and 1.8% and PL in 12.5% and 5.4% respectively. Pregnancy rate with GnRHant was 16.4% (95% IC 8.1-28.1) vs. 7.2% (95% le 2.0-17.5%) without GnRHant (group 3) (p = 0.16): groups 1 and 2 represented a pregnancy rate of 20.6% (95% IC 7.9-39.7) and 12.5% (95% IC 3.5-28.9%) respectively (p = 0.49). Mature follicles number reached meaning difference between all groups (p = 0.04) specially between groups 1 and 2 (p = 0.02).
Conclusions: A trend to elevate pregnancy rates was observed with GnRHant specially with when it was started when leading follicle reached 14 mm (p > 0.05). Starting GnRHant with 16 mm was not totally usefully to prevent PL.

Background: Electrocardiograms (EKGs) are routinely performed in pregnant patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. However, in pregnant patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), EKG changes during gestation have not been explored.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of pregnant patients with CHD enrolled in the STORCC initiative.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of emergency cerclage for pregnant women with bulging fetal membranes, as indicated by our original noninvasive clinical scoring system.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of pregnant women who underwent emergency cerclage for bulging fetal membranes within 28 weeks. The primary outcome was the continuation of pregnancy at 34 gestational weeks in singleton pregnancies and 32 gestational weeks in twin pregnancies.

Aim: This study aims to assess the impacts of various trigger day progesterone (P) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels on live birth rates (LBRs) in fresh in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, considering their elevation from stimulation and premature luteinization.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included the first ovarian stimulation cycles with GnRH antagonist protocol of 1253 patients who underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection and fresh embryo transfer at a tertiary clinic's IVF center between 2010 and 2016. Participants were divided into four groups based on trigger day serum P and LH levels, using the 90th percentile thresholds for P (1.

Introduction: One of the key strategies to achieve the sustainable development goal by reducing maternal deaths below 70 per 100,000 is improving knowledge of obstetric danger signs (ODS). However, mothers' knowledge of ODS is low in general and very low in rural settings, regardless of local and national efforts in Ethiopia. Further, there is significant variation of ODS knowledge among women from region to region and urban/rural settings.
