Endometrial factors in the implantation failure spectrum: protocol of a MUltidisciplinary observational cohort study in women with Repeated Implantation failure and recurrent Misca... by Servaas Morré, Ron van Golde, Andrea Romano, Linda Stevens Brentjens, Denise Habets, Janneke Den Hartog, Salwan Al-Nasiry, Lotte Wieten, Aafke Van Montfoort

“…Introduction Women with repeated implantation failure (RIF) and unexplained recurrent miscarriage (RM) are proposed to be at opposite ends of the implantation spectrum, with RM representing an overly receptive endometrium (implantation of genetically aberrant or poor-quality embryos) versus RIF representing an overly selective endometrium (no implantation even with good quality embryos). …”

Increasing the Stimulation Dose of rFSH in Unexpected Poor Responders Is Not Associated with Better IVF Outcome by Levent Tutuncu, Ozgur Dundar

“…Main outcome measures of the study were duration of stimulation, number of follicles, number of oocytes retrieved, number of embryos, and E2 level on day of hCG injection. There were no significant differences in duration of stimulation, number of follicles, number of oocytes retrieved, number of embryos, and E2 level on day of hCG injection between the first low- and second high-dose cycles. …”

Parthenogenesis and Human Assisted Reproduction by Adriana Bos-Mikich, Fabiana F. Bressan, Rafael R. Ruggeri, Yeda Watanabe, Flávio V. Meirelles

“…Different activating methods have been tested on human and nonhuman oocytes, with varying degrees of success in terms of parthenote generation rates, embryo development stem cell derivation rates. Success in achieving a standardized artificial activation methodology for human oocytes and the subsequent potential therapeutic gain obtained from these embryos depends mainly on the availability of gametes donated from infertility treatments. …”
