Infertility patch

The total number of MII oocytes retrieved and fertilized oocytes was significantly higher in the study group, as well as the number of embryos transferred for pickup and clinical pregnancy rate. Conclusions: Treatment with estrogens in infertile POI patients in transitional phase reduces circulating FSH levels, hence causing potential spontaneous conception.

Moreover, in these patients, estrogen pre-treatment seems to improve IVF outcomes in a GnRH-antagonist short protocol compared to no pre-treatment. Abstract Purpose: During the transitional phase of premature ovarian insufficiency POI , sporadic resumption of ovulation is possible because of fluctuation of hormonal levels but the chance of spontaneous pregnancy is low, and the main perspective of childbearing in these women is egg donation or adoption.

Testosterone gel or Androderm patch is added only if testosterone levels do not improve after oral DHEA supplementation , suggesting poor conversion of DHEA to testosterone.

Such poor conversion is very rare in Caucasian and Asian women and a little more common, but still rare, in women of African descent. Need for direct testosterone supplementation in women, therefore, should be the exception, a reason why CHR does not recommend the routine use of Androderm patches in women in fertility treatments.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we here at the CHR for the second year in a row are missing out on the hectic last-minute preparations for our annual conference in New York City on reproductive biology and endocrinology, the CHR until co-hos. We welcome our readers to the October issue of the VOICE, we hope again packed with interesting and relevant information for patients, colleagues, and any other party interested in reproductive sciences and clinical infertility.
