Objective: To investigate the relationship between ovulation and pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Methods: The clinical data from 784 patients, diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or unexplained infertility, underwent 1624 IUI cycles were analyzed retrospectively. Ovulation was observed by transvaginal ultrasonography on the day of IUI. The clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), abortion rate (AR), and live birth rate (LBR) were analyzed.

Results: The study included 1031 pre-ovulation IUI cycles (63.49%) and 593 post-ovulation IUI cycles (36.51%). The CPR was 13.05%, the AR was 15.57%, and the LBR was 11.02%. Ovulation before or after IUI affected the CPR (11.06% VS 16.53%,  = .002) and LBR (9.41% VS 13.83%,  = .006) per cycle, but did not affect the AR (14.91% VS 16.33%,  = .149). The sex ratio of children was not related to ovulation ( = .948). After adjusting for baseline characteristics and logistic regression, the CPR (OR = 1.931, 95% CI 1.062-1.931,  = .019) and LBR (OR = 1.389, 95% CI 1.007-1.916,  = .045) of post-ovulation insemination were higher than those of pre-ovulation insemination significantly.

Conclusion: Pregnancy outcomes were affected by ovulation on the day of IUI in patients with unexplained infertility or PCOS. Post-ovulation insemination may improve the CPR of IUI.

Background: Over the past five years, the pregnancy rate in assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs in Russia has remained relatively stable. The aim of this study was to assess the distribution of monocyte and macrophage subsets in the blood and follicular fluid of infertile women undergoing assisted reproductive technology.

Methods: The study involved 45 women with a mean age of 35 ± 4.

Background: Numerous pathogenic variants causing human oocyte maturation arrest have been reported on the primate-specific TUBB8 gene. The main etiology is the dramatic reduction of tubulin α/β dimer, but still large numbers of variants remain unexplained.

Methods: Using microinjection mRNA and genome engineering to reintroduce the conserved pathogenic missense variants into oocytes or in generating TUBB8 variant knock-in mouse models, we investigated that the human deleterious variants alter microtubule nucleation and spindle assembly during meiosis.

Background: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an effective and inexpensive method of managing patients with unexplained and male factor infertility. It is attempted before proceeding to more invasive assisted reproductive techniques such as fertilisation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Numerous semen parameters have been assessed to indicate successful outcomes with IUI.

Background: Chromosomal mosaicism, a phenomenon observed in a minority of embryos, showcases its prevalence and inherent unpredictability, leading to variations in embryo mosaic rates across different centers. This research endeavors to assess the prevalence of mosaicism and its characteristics within the scope of our preimplantation genetic testing-A (PGT-A) services in Indonesia. Specifically focusing on our center's experience since 2020, this study aims to elucidate mosaic rates among embryos in our care.

Background: Alterations in lipid metabolism were reported to impact human fertility; however, there is limited evidence on the association of lipid metabolism with embryo implantation as well as the etiology of recurrent implantation failure (RIF), especially regarding arachidonic acid metabolism.

Methods: Experimental verification research (16 RIF patients and 30 control patients) based on GEO database analysis (24 RIF patients and 24 control patients). The methods in bioinformatics included differential gene screening, functional enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction network, cluster analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and so forth.
