Purpose Of Review: The current review will focus on the cause of premature progesterone and its impact on endometrial receptivity and endometrial gene expression.
Recent Findings: Premature progesterone rise in stimulated IVF cycles seems to have a negative impact on the pregnancy rate. The current knowledge on the cause of a premature progesterone rise is still limited; however, it seems that overstimulating the ovaries during the end of the follicular phase will lead to a premature progesterone rise. The negative impact on the outcome is mainly due to reduced endometrial receptivity as can be seen in the altered endometrial gene expression.
Summary: Future studies should focus on how ovarian stimulation can be tailored according to individual requirements of the patients, aiming on preventing a possible progesterone rise during follicular phase of stimulated IVF cycles.

Infertility affects one-in-six couples, often necessitating in vitro fertilization treatment (IVF). IVF generates complex data, which can challenge the utilization of the full richness of data during decision-making, leading to reliance on simple 'rules-of-thumb'. Machine learning techniques are well-suited to analyzing complex data to provide data-driven recommendations to improve decision-making.

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.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by the deficiency of one of the enzymes involved in cortisol synthesis. Between 90% and 99% of cases of CAH are caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) caused by mutations in . Although 21-OHD has been historically divided into classical and non-classical forms, it is now thought to show a continuous phenotype.

Objective: A single-center randomized trial showed improved latency with use of indomethacin and cefazolin (I/C) during and following exam-indicated cerclage (EIC). The same center recently published a pre/post comparison demonstrating similar results. This research aimed to validate the protocol in a different setting.

Objectives: As previous studies on the use of a cervical pessary to prevent preterm birth (PTB) have produced conflicting results, we aimed to investigate the feasibility, acceptability and safety of a new technique for inserting a cervical pessary and compare it with the traditional technique in patients at high risk of PTB.
Methods: Women at high risk of PTB treated with a cervical pessary between January 2018 and January 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. After applying exclusion criteria, a total of 68 eligible patients were identified and retrospectively analyzed.
