The evolving landscape of donor egg treatment: success, women's choice, and anonymity CONCLUSION: The use of FRESH-EGG with FRESH-ET without PGT-A remains superior to newer DE treatment combinations. Specifically, the use of FROZEN-EGG and PGT-A did not improve outcomes. Although changing DE practices may enhance experience and affordability, patients and providers must appreciate that choices do not always favorably impact success. Additionally, newly available genetic-ancestry testing may pose longer-term ramifications mandating change in treatment and/or counseling.
Thu, 20 Sep 2018 06:00:00 -0400 Pregnancy Outcomes After Fertility Preservation in Transgender Men CONCLUSION: Transgender men with cryopreserved gametes can build families in a way that affirms their gender identity. Obstetrician-gynecologists should be familiar with the fertility needs of transgender patients so appropriate discussions and referrals can be made.
Sat, 28 Mar 2015 06:00:00 -0400 Long-term cryopreservation of human oocytes does not increase embryonic aneuploidy CONCLUSION(S): Embryos derived from cryopreserved oocytes demonstrate impaired blastulation but equivalent rates of euploidy, implantation, and live birth compared with blastocysts derived from fresh oocytes, supporting the safety and efficacy of oocyte cryopreservation.
Sun, 28 Dec 2014 06:00:00 -0500 What makes them split? Identifying risk factors that lead to monozygotic twins after in vitro fertilization CONCLUSION(S): After IVF the incidence of MZT is high, with young oocyte age, year of treatment, and extended culture (or embryo stage at transfer) conferring greatest risk. Regarding MZT type, assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures may influence the timing of embryonic splitting (i.e., division in early embryonic development may be influenced by zona pellucida [ZP] manipulation whereas later splitting may occur during delayed implantation). Poor obstetric/perinatal outcome is...
Tue, 20 Aug 2013 06:00:00 -0400 Experiences in fertility preservation: lessons learned to ensure that fertility and reproductive autonomy remain options for cancer survivors CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrate that oocyte and/or zygote banking are feasible FP options for women with malignancy; given the choice, the majority elected oocyte cryopreservation, highlighting desire for reproductive autonomy. Continued growth and research, combined with interdisciplinary communication, will ensure that appropriate candidates are offered FP and the potential for future parenthood, an important quality-of-life marker for survivors.
Sat, 01 Jun 2013 06:00:00 -0400 Oocyte cryopreservation as a fertility preservation measure for cancer patients Advances in cancer treatment have allowed women to live longer, fuller lives. However, gonadotoxic therapies used to effect cancer 'cures' often significantly impair a woman's reproductive potential. Thus, in accordance with improved survival rates,there is an increase in demand for fertility preservation. Initially, fertility preservation was limited to embryo cryopreservation;therefore, the number of patients enrolling was relatively low. Recently, substantial improvements have increased...
Tue, 17 May 2011 06:00:00 -0400 Retrospective analysis of outcomes following transfer of previously cryopreserved oocytes, pronuclear zygotes and supernumerary blastocysts Oocyte cryopreservation still bears the experimental label. Remarkable innovation in this field has led to immense improvement in clinical outcomes and has even resulted in outcomes comparable to those achieved following fresh embryo transfers. Such success has prompted this centre to investigate outcomes of cryopreservation options (oocyte versus pronuclear zygote versus supernumerary day-5 blastocyst after fresh embryo transfer). This study retrospectively analysed 200 cryopreservation cycles...
