Successful pregnancy in a liver transplant recipient following controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

As the demand for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) increases, infertility treatments are increasingly being sought by patients with serious health problems that were once regarded as leading to infertility. Moreover, since pregnancy may worsen their underlying health conditions, these women have been advised to remain infertile. We describe here a liver transplant recipient who underwent ART for male factor infertility.

Predictors of success during the coasting period in high-responder patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation for assisted conception.

Objective: To determine the prognostic factors analyzed during the coasting period that can be used to predict outcomes of IVF cycles.

Design: Retrospective review of data from a single center.

Setting: Referral private IVF center.

Monochorionic triplets following intracytoplasmic sperm injection: a report of two consecutive cases.

Monochorionic triplet pregnancies are very rare. Here we report 2 cases of multiple pregnancies with monochorionic triplets following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and day 3 embryo transfer. The 2 women concomitantly underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation due to male factor infertility.

Survival rates during the first trimester of multiple gestations achieved by ICSI: a report of 1448 consecutive multiples.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of spontaneous gestational sac loss during the first trimester in women achieving multiple pregnancies by ICSI.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of 1448 consecutive multiple pregnancies conceived by ICSI.

Results: Of the cohort of 1448 pregnancies, twin gestations constituted 59.

Partners of men with Klinefelter syndrome can benefit from assisted reproductive technologies.

Objective: To report the birth of a healthy female infant from a father with nonmosaic Klinefelter syndrome (KS) and document the experience of men with KS undergoing assisted conception.

Design: Retrospective.

Setting: Private IVF center.
