Abstract Background Total fertilization failure represents a particularly frustrating condition for couples undergoing in vitro fertilization. With the aim of reducing the occurrence of total fertilization failure, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has become the first choice over conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures although evidence of improved results is still debated and its use in couples without male factor infertility is not recommended. Among the strategies potentially useful to promote the use of conventional IVF, we herein call attention to the late rescue ICSI, which consists in performing ICSI after 18–24 h from conventional insemination on oocytes that show no signs of fertilization. This treatment has however been reported to be associated with a low success rate until recent observations that embryos derived from late rescue ICSI may be transferred after cryopreservation in a frozen-thawed cycle with improved results. The aim of the present study was to assess whether frozen embryos deriving from rescue ICSI performed about 24 h after conventional IVF may represent a valuable option for couples experiencing fertilization failure. Methods A systematic review on the efficacy of late rescue ICSI was performed consulting PUBMED and EMBASE. Results Including twenty-two original studies, we showed that clinical pregnancy rate per embryo transfer and implantation rate obtainable with fresh embryo transfers after rescue ICSI are not satisfactory being equal to 10 and 5%, respectively. The transfer of cryopreserved rescue ICSI embryos seems to offer a substantial improvement of success rates, with pregnancy rate per embryo transfer and implantation rate equal to 36 and 18%, respectively. Coupling rescue ICSI with frozen embryo transfer may ameliorate the clinical pregnancy rate for embryo transfer with an Odds Ratio = 4.7 (95% CI:2.6–8.6). Conclusion Results of the present review support the idea that r-ICSI coupled with frozen embryo transfer may overcome most of the technical and biological issues associated with fresh transfer after late r-ICSI, thus possibly representing an efficient procedure for couples experiencing fertilization failure following conventional IVF cycles.

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic condition that is influenced by the hormone estrogen which affects women of childbearing age, and is associated with pelvic pain and infertility. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is currently the most efficient assisted reproductive technology and its high success rate is often done for infertility therapy in women associated with endometriosisObjective: The aim of this study is to determine whether postoperative endometriosis affected pregnancy outcomes in patients underwent frozen embryo transfer in IVF / ICSI programs.Method: This Research is done with a retrospective cohort design. The data was taken from medical records, research subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research data was collected, processed and analyzed using SPSS 23. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate data analysis was carried out to determine the effect between variablesResult: There were 458 research subjects in this study. Endometriosis patients were 119 subjects (26%). 57 subjects were categorized as minimum-mild endometriosis (47.9%) and moderate-severe subjects as many as 62 subjects (52.1%). The biochemical pregnancy rate (36.31%) and clinical pregnancy (29.4%) in patients with endometriosis was slightly higher than in non-endometriosis. But statistically it did not affect success rate of achieving biochemical (p = 0.428; RR 0.89; 95% CI: 0.71-1.24) and clinical pregnancy (p = 0.535; RR 0.883; 95% CI: 0.63- 1.22). The rate of miscarriage in postoperative endometriosis patients was higher than non-endometriosis patients (88.6% vs 80.7%) but was not statistically significant (p = 0.294; RR 1.69; 95% CI: 0.61-4.67) . Biochemical and clinical pregnancies were significantly affected by age, infertility, endometrial thickness, embryo age and embryo quality. The incidence of miscarriage was affected by the ovarian stimulation protocol.Conclusion: Endometriosis post operative statistically has no effect on pregnancy outcomes in the IVF / ICSI cycle with frozen embryo transfer compared with another cause of infertility .Keywords:Endometriosis, In Vitro Fertilization, Clinical pregnancy, biochemical pregnancy, miscarriage

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization with embryo transfer between embryos cultured in a time-lapse monitoring system (TLS) and those cultured in a conventional incubator (CI).Methods: The medical records of 250 fertilized embryos from 141 patients undergoing infertility treatment with assisted reproductive technology at a tertiary hospital from June 2018 to May 2020 were reviewed. The study population was divided into TLS and CI groups at a 1 to 1 ratio (125 embryos per group). The primary outcome was the live birth rate. Results: The TLS group had a significantly higher clinical pregnancy rate (46.4% vs. 27.2%, p=0.002), implantation rate (27.1% vs. 12.0%, p=0.004), and live birth rate (32% vs. 18.4%, p=0.013) than the CI group. Furthermore, subgroup analyses of the clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate in the different age groups favored the TLS group. However, this difference only reached statistical significance in the live birth rate in women aged over 40 years and the clinical pregnancy rate in women aged 35–40 years (p=0.048 and p=0.031, respectively). The miscarriage rate, cleavage rate, and blastocyst rate were comparable.Conclusion: TLS application improved the live birth rate, implantation rate, and clinical pregnancy rate, particularly in the advanced age group in this study, while the other reproductive outcomes were comparable. Large randomized controlled trials are needed to further explore the ramifications of these findings, especially in different age groups.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in hormone replacement (HT) regime for frozen thawed embryo transfer in women with endometriosis (EM).Methods: We performed a retrospective, database-search, cohort study and included data on EM patients who underwent frozen embryo transfer (FET) between January 1, 2009 and August 31, 2018. According to the protocols for FET cycle, the patients were divided into two groups: control group (n = 296) and hCG group (n = 355). Clinical pregnancy rate, live birth rate, early abortion rate, late abortion rate, and ectopic pregnancy rate were compared between the two groups.Results: There was a significant increase in clinical pregnancy rate in the hCG group (57.7 vs. 49%, p = 0.027) compared with the control group. The live birth rate in the hCG group (45.6 vs. 38.5%, p = 0.080) was also elevated, but this difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion: hCG administration in HT regime for FET increases the pregnancy rate in women with EM.
