Luteal Phase Stimulation in the Same Cycle Is an Effective Strategy to Rescue POSEIDON Poor Responders with No Embryos after the First Follicular Stimulation by Abha Majumdar, Gaurav Majumdar, Neeti Tiwari, Anu Singh, Shweta Mittal Gupta, Ruma Satwik

“…This protocol involves ovarian stimulation in both follicular and luteal phases with egg retrieval in each phase, respectively, to increase the number of oocytes and embryos in one menstrual cycle. This can be considered a potentially valuable option for women with poor ovarian reserve/response to maximise the number of oocytes retrieved in a single ovarian cycle in the shortest possible time. …”

Progress on effects of BaP exposure on female reproductive system and pathogenic mechanisms by Qianqian GAO, Xiaoling FENG

“…Studies have shown that BaP is reproductively toxic and is involved in diseases related to the female reproductive system by affecting the secretion of ovarian hormones, interfering with the function of ovarian mitochondria (affecting oocyte maturation), affecting embryo development (interfering with the migration of trophoblast cells, invasion, proliferation, apoptosis) and the process of metaplasia. …”

Research progress in the correlation between chronic stress and ovarian dysfunction by WEI Liutong, LAI Dongmei

“…Recent studies have shown that chronic stress affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovary axis directly or indirectly and leads to ovarian dysfunction-including excessive activation of primordial follicles, a reduction in preantral and preovulatory follicles, decline of oocyte quality, and granulosa cell apoptosis, through corticotropin-releasing hormone, corticosterone and cortisol secreted by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, as well as epinephrine and norepinephrine released by the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary axis and sympathetic nervous system. …”
